SUMMARY: In order to prepare for the
future, The National Center for Research
Resources (NCRR), National Institutes of
Health (NIH), is developing a new
strategic plan. The purpose of the plan
is to ensure that NCRR remains
responsive to the emerging needs of
biomedical researchers and provides
them with the infrastructure, tools, and
training they need to understand, detect,
treat, and prevent a wide range of
diseases. The NCRR requests input from
biomedical scientists to define future
needs for shared research resources and
technologies that facilitate NIHsupported biomedical research. The
NCRR’s existing 2004–2008 strategic
plan may be accessed over the World

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Center for Research Resources
(NCRR) provides clinical and
translational researchers with the
training and tools they need to
understand, detect, treat, and prevent a
wide range of diseases. This support
enables discoveries that begin at a
molecular and cellular level, move to
animal-based studies, and then are
translated to patient-oriented clinical
research, resulting in cures and
treatments for both common and rare
diseases. NCRR connects researchers
with one another, as well as with
patients and communities across the
Nation, to harness the power of shared
resources and research.
Transcending geographic boundaries
and research disciplines, NCRR
supports unique and essential research
and resources that help to transform
basic discoveries into improved human
health. Together, the programs
accelerate and enhance research along
the entire continuum of biomedical
science to:
• Fund clinical and translational
science awards at academic health
centers to speed basic discoveries into
improved medical care. Working as a
national Consortium, these institutions
will develop novel approaches, enhance
informatics, and improve training and
mentoring that will be disseminated
across the Consortium and beyond.
• Provide access to state-of-the-art
technologies and instruments that
enable both basic biomedical research
and clinical investigations of a
multitude of health issues, from cancer
to infectious diseases.
• Develop and provide access to
critical animal models, which offer
essential clues to a broad range of
human disorders such as Parkinson’s
disease, multiple sclerosis, and AIDS.
• Train veterinarians in translational
research in order to respond to deadly
human diseases, such SARS, influenza,
and hepatitis.
• Enhance development programs for
underserved states and institutions,
focusing on health disparities that
negatively impact racial and ethnic
minority populations.
DATES:

• Provide funding to expand,
remodel, and renovate or alter existing
research facilities or construct new
research facilities.
• Fund career development programs
that attract talented medical students,
physicians, and dentists to the challenge
of clinical research careers.
• Stimulate basic research to develop
versatile new technologies and methods
that help researchers to study virtually
every human disease.
• Increase the public’s understanding
of medical research and delivers
information about healthy living and
career opportunities in science to
children and the general public.
To ensure the continued relevance of
its Strategic Plan, the NCRR seeks input
to the following questions in terms of
the issues described above:
• What are the most significant
trends, developments, and/or needs in
biomedical research that are likely to
materialize over the next five years, and
what can NCRR do to be prepared to
respond to them?
• From the standpoint of achieving
the broadest impact among
investigators, what new or expanded
research resources and/or animal
models should be developed over the
next five to eight years?
• The recently-introduced CTSA
(Clinical Translational Science Award)
Program seeks to transform the local,
regional and national environment for
clinical and translational science,
thereby increasing the efficiency and
speed of clinical and translational
research. What considerations will be
most crucial to the long-term success of
this initiative?
• Despite significant progress,
research institutions serving
predominantly minority and
underserved populations face stiff
challenges. What can NCRR do to most
effectively support the long-term
advancement of these institutions?
• NCRR has, and will continue to,
work closely with many federal and
private sector institutions, agencies, and
organizations. Looking forward, what
organizations should NCRR seek out for
future partnerships to most effectively
support, expand, and advance its
programs and services?
• Is there anything else you would
like to add that would be helpful to
NCRR?
