Re-posted from: National Institutes of Health Office of Extramural Research “Rock Talk” Posted on July 30, 2015 by Sally Rockey
NIH is beginning the process of developing a 5-year strategic plan, at the request of Congress. NIH developed a framework to identify crosscutting areas of research and unifying principles applicable to the priorities of the entire breadth of NIH’s institutes, centers, and offices. The goal of this larger NIH-wide strategic plan is not to outline the myriad important research opportunities for specific disease applications (these are covered in existing targeted strategic plans developed by institutes, centers, office and specialized trans-NIH working groups), but to highlight major themes that cross all of NIH.
I hope you’ll review the strategic plan framework described in this request for information, and provide your feedback. As the completed strategic plan is due to Congress in late December 2015, we need your comments on the framework by August 16, 2015.
As always, while discussion related to this topic is welcome in the comments of this blog, your feedback must be submitted as described in the RFI for consideration.
