Disability results from an interplay between health conditions and environmental and personal factors. People with disabilities face substantial and ongoing health inequities; however, research to mitigate these inequalities is lacking. There is an urgent need for a better understanding of the multilevel factors that influence health outcomes in people with visible and invisible disabilities across all the lenses of the National Institute of Nursing Research strategic plan. Disability research must be a priority of nurses and the National Institute of Nursing Research to advance health equity for all.
