SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The overall purpose of the strategic planning effort is to identify both new opportunities and emerging needs for incorporation in the programmatic efforts of the Office. A background paper, ODS Strategic Plan 2010-2014 Progress Report, summarizes progress in five key areas of ODS activities. The background paper and related information are available on the ODS Web site at http://ods.od.nih.gov/​strategicplan.

Guidance is being requested from all interested parties on these important issues.

  • Are the current strategic goals adequate?
  • Is ODS meeting its stakeholders' needs?
  • In the future, should some of ODS's current programs or activities be given higher (or lower) priority?
  • How can ODS more effectively provide useful information to the ODS user community, including consumers, investigators, practitioners, industry, media, policy makers, government, and other interested parties?
