The Institute for Policy Solutions at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
Improving Health Through Nursing Innovation and Leadership
Everyone deserves the opportunity for a healthy life. Right now, that isn’t reality. We want to change that.
The Institute for Policy Solutions works with health policy leaders, innovators and researchers to redesign the U.S. health system. With the goal of shifting policy and practice to more preventive, value-based and whole-person care, the Institute elevates, develops and implements evidence-based, actionable nurse-led solutions. A focus on eliminating racist policies and structures entrenched in the country’s health care establishment and other systems underpins the Institute’s work.

Nursing Science Incubator for SDOH Solutions (N-SISS) is the flagship program of the IPS Training Institute. N-SISS advances the design and implementation of innovative research by nurse scientists and scientists in aligned fields with a singular focus: eliminating health inequities in the U.S.
