ODP Strategic Planning Working Group

An initial step in the ODP's strategic planning process was the recruitment of a working group composed of NIH scientific program and strategic planning experts, as well as representatives from other federal agencies, the extramural research community, the health care sector, and the patient community. The Strategic Planning Working Group has been charged with the following:

• Making recommendations on the scope of the plan and the planning timeline.
• Reviewing and providing advice on new mission and vision statements and strategic priorities.
• Reviewing and providing advice on the objectives, measures, and tactics identified to implement the plan.
• Providing advice on key stakeholder groups, informing the selection of questions for each stakeholder group, and recommending engagement strategies.
• Recommending strategies for assessing progress of the implementation of the plan.
