Introduction: Request for Information
January 21, 2009, President Obama
issued a directive to all Federal agencies
calling for greater transparency, public
participation, and collaboration.
In response to this Directive, and in
keeping with the work that has already
been done by the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) to encourage public input
and provide science-based health
resources and science information to the
public, NIH posts this Request for
Information (RFI) to offer a new public
input opportunity. The RFI will provide
insight and better understanding of the
health information needs and
information-seeking behaviors of NIH
health consumer audiences. Information
gathered will assist the agency in
developing and disseminating health,
medical, and scientific information to a
broader variety of audiences. The
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
agency anticipates using new outreach
strategies and tools, from communitylevel outlets to Internet-based social
media. Members of the public as well as
organizations are invited and
encouraged to participate in this public
input opportunity.
The RFI is a collaborative effort
between the NIH Office of
Communications and Public Liaison
(OCPL) and the NIH Director’s Council
of Public Representatives (COPR). COPR
is a Federal Advisory Committee
covered by the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2).
The COPR is composed of up to 21
members of the public who provide the
public’s perspective into the NIH
research priority-setting process as well
as the Agency’s public health education
and public engagement efforts.
NIH is part of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services and is the
primary Federal agency for conducting
and supporting biomedical and
behavioral research. NIH is the steward
of medical and behavioral research for
the Nation. Composed of 27 Institutes
and Centers, the NIH provides
leadership and financial support to
researchers in more than 3,000
institutions in all 50 States, the
territories and in more than 90 countries
around the world. Its mission is science
in pursuit of fundamental knowledge
about the nature and behavior of living
systems and the application of that
knowledge to extend healthy life and
reduce the burdens of illness and
disability.
NIH also has a responsibility to
communicate science-based,
trustworthy public health and science
information to a wide range of
audiences, including the public at large,
patients, family members, health care
providers, scientists, public health
workers, nonprofit health organizations,
and professional societies. These
audiences have differing needs for the
information available from the NIH.
Building on its previous experience and
record of success, NIH recognizes the
need to communicate cutting-edge
research advances to ensure continued
improved health for all Americans in a
changing media and information
environment. For background
information on the RFI, please visit this
Web site https://
nihhealthinfoRFI.nih.gov.
Information Requested
The Request for Information (RFI)
serves as a vehicle to obtain public
comments on how NIH can best address
communication challenges and
requirements for the 21st century in the
PO 00000
Frm 00061

face of increased demands and
shrinking resources.
The purpose of the RFI is to obtain
information aimed at helping the NIH
strengthen short- and long-term
communications strategies while
identifying cost-effective, meritorious,
innovative, and legally sanctioned
methods and outlets for disseminating
health information to the public.
Specifically, the RFI seeks information
on the following:
• The current state and range of
health information-seeking behaviors
and trends;
• The range of health information of
interest to the public;
• How the public accesses and uses
health information; and
• The barriers that might impede
NIH’s ability to communicate with
health consumers.
