SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the 21st Century Cures
Act, NIH is required to regularly update
their strategic plans. The National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and
Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is embarking
on an Institute-wide strategic planning
process. The goal of the process is to
develop a broad vision for accelerating
research into the causes, prevention,
and treatment of diseases and
conditions within the Institute’s
mission. This overarching trans-NIDDK
Strategic Plan will complement
NIDDK’s disease-specific planning
efforts. The strategic plan will have a 5year time horizon but will also include
planning for longer term efforts that
could be initiated within this time
frame.
A critical component of this strategic
planning process is to seek input from
the research and patient communities
and others who have an interest in
research within the mission of NIDDK.
As part of that approach, the purpose of
this Request for Information (RFI) is to
invite input on opportunities and
strategies to advance NIDDK’s mission.
NIDDK will use responses collected as
part of this RFI to inform the
development of the Institute-wide
Strategic Plan, which will be posted in
draft form for additional public
comment.
NIDDK conducts and supports
biomedical research and research
training and disseminates science-based
information on: Diabetes and other
endocrine and metabolic diseases;
digestive diseases, including liver,
gastrointestinal, and other diseases;
nutritional disorders; obesity; and
kidney, urologic, and hematologic
diseases, to improve people’s health and
quality of life. Based on this mission,
NIDDK has formulated the following
broad themes for input, as a starting
point for the planning process:
Themes for Input
• Advancing understanding of
biological pathways and environmental
contributors to health and disease.
• Advancing progress in pivotal
clinical studies and trials for
prevention, treatment, and cures in
diverse populations.
• Advancing dissemination and
implementation research on strategies to
identify, adapt, scale-up, and integrate
evidence-based interventions in diverse
settings and populations.
• Promoting participant
engagement—including patients and
other participants as true partners in
research.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:20 Mar 25, 2020
Jkt 250001
• Advancing research training and
career development to promote a
talented, diverse biomedical research
workforce.
• Promoting innovation, rigor and
reproducibility in research,
partnerships, communicating research
results, and other critical efforts as part
of efficient and effective stewardship of
public resources.
NIDDK invites input from: The
scientific research community; patients
and caregivers; health care providers
and health advocacy organizations;
scientific and professional
organizations; federal agencies; and
other stakeholders, including interested
members of the public.
NIDDK seeks input on any of the
broad themes above. Your comments
could include any of the following:
Research opportunities for the themes
highlighted above; innovative strategies
to advance research progress; the
challenges to progress in these areas;
emerging trends, advances,
technologies, analytic strategies,
challenges in big data science, and
perspectives that NIDDK should
consider in this planning process;
potential approaches to gauge research
progress and success. Please also
comment on any other topic that you
find relevant to the development of the
NIDDK Institute-wide Strategic Plan.
Organizations are strongly encouraged
to submit a single response that reflects
the views of their organization and
membership as a whole.
Responses to this RFI are voluntary
and may be submitted anonymously.
Please do not include any information
that you do not wish to make public.
Proprietary, classified, confidential, or
sensitive information should not be
included in your response. The
Government will use the information
submitted in response to this RFI at its
discretion. Individual feedback will not
be provided to any responder. The
Government reserves the right to use
any submitted information on public
websites, in reports, in summaries of the
state of the science, in any possible
resultant solicitation(s), grant(s), or
cooperative agreement(s), or in the
development of future funding
opportunity announcements. This RFI is
for informational and planning purposes
only and is not a solicitation for
applications or an obligation on the part
of the Government to provide support
for any ideas identified in response to
it. Please note that the Government will
not pay for the preparation of any
information submitted or for use of that
information.
