What the research tells us
Presents a shared NIH resilience framework linking a specified system and challenge to responses over time. Resistance, adaptation, recovery and growth are possible outcomes to investigate.
Scope & interpretation
The framework helps specify systems, stressors and resilience research questions. Applying it to a measure or intervention requires evidence matched to the population, outcomes and design.
Study at a glance
- POPULATION & SAMPLE
- Concept development drawing on work across NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices.
- EXPOSURE / INTERVENTION / SUBJECT
- Systems, challenges, protective factors and the observation of responses.
- OUTCOMES
- Resilience definitions and research-design considerations across domains.
- TIME FRAME
- Depends on the defined challenge and system; no universal observation window.
