Behavioral, social and biological processes interact in maintaining health, in causing all ten of the leading sources of death, and in sustaining the major chronic illnesses that account for most of health care spending in the United States. Nursing science is one of the disciplines that integrates behavioral, social and biological processes in understanding and intervening in various states of health and illness. Nursing science demands an interdisciplinary biobehavioral perspective in order to develop interventions to prevent onset or progression of impaired functioning, disability and pathology along the dual continua of health and illness. Yet the number of nurse scientists prepared to integrate biobehavioral theory and methodology is relatively small. In the past decade a serious shortage has been identified of nurse scientists prepared to conduct innovative research at the interface of biological and behavioral science. These are scientists who can translate fundamental cellular processes to the integrative functioning of whole living beings in terms of life processes and therapies. Biobehavioral trained nurse scientists are prepared with depth in an area of inquiry, yet with sufficient breadth to understand the interactions among the traditional disciplines, and trained to use innovative research technologies and analytic strategies. The goal of this training program is to train eight (8) predoctoral and three (3) postdoctoral scholars each year in order to increase the cadre of nurse scientists skilled in biobehavioral theory and methodology. The University of Washington is unique in having a cadre of nurse scientists who work exemplifies research in biobehavioral theory and methodology and in preventive interventions. The specific aims of this training program are for trainees to attain theoretical and methodological capability to (1) expand understanding of the biobehavioral interface between individual vulnerability and environmental risk as foundational for generating new interventions; (2) integrate biological and behavioral instrumentation and state of the art biomethodologies for studying transactions between individual vulnerability and environmental risk for disease, disability, or progression of these adverse health responses; and (3) test nursing therapeutics aimed at managing biobehavioral vulnerability and risk in preventing disease, impairment and functional disability, or progression of disease, impairment and disability.

行为，社会和生物学过程在维持健康，导致所有主要死亡来源以及维持美国大部分医疗保健支出的主要慢性疾病方面相互作用。护理科学是将行为，社会和生物学过程整合到各种健康状态和疾病状态的学科之一。护理科学要求跨学科的生物行为视角，以制定干预措施，以防止健康和疾病双重连续性功能，残疾和病理的发作或进展。然而，准备整合生物行为理论和方法论的护士科学家数量相对较小。在过去的十年中，已经确定了准备在生物学和行为科学界面进行创新研究的护士科学家的严重短缺。这些科学家可以将基本的细胞过程转化为整个生物在生命过程和疗法方面的综合功能。生物行为训练有素的护士科学家在询问领域中做好了深入的准备，但具有足够的广度来了解传统学科之间的相互作用，并经过培训以使用创新的研究技术和分析策略。该培训计划的目的是培训八（8）次培训和每年三（3）个博士后学者，以增加熟练于生物行为理论和方法论的护士科学家干部。华盛顿大学在拥有一群护士科学家的干部方面是独一无二的，这些护士科学家在生物行为理论和方法论以及预防性干预措施中进行了研究。该培训计划的具体目的是让学员获得理论和方法论能力，以（1）扩大对个人脆弱性和环境风险之间的生物行为界面的了解，以产生新的干预措施； （2）整合生物学和行为仪器以及艺术生物方法的状态，以研究这些不良健康反应的疾病，残疾或进展的个人脆弱性和环境风险之间的交易； （3）测试护理治疗剂，旨在控制生物行为脆弱性和预防疾病，障碍和功能障碍或疾病，障碍和残疾的风险。
