We are inviting teens and young adults between the ages of 13 and 22 to share original artwork showing how prevention can help improve health equity. Their artwork may be featured on ODP's website and social media, and they could even win cash prizes of up to $3,500! If you know a teen or young adult with ideas about what people or communities can do to prevent disease and injury and promote more equitable health outcomes for everyone, encourage them to submit their artwork to ODP by January 31, 2024, 11:59 p.m. ET.

Dr. Monica Bertagnolli Takes the Helm as the New NIH Director
On November 9, 2023, Monica M. Bertagnolli, M.D., started as the 17th director of NIH. She is the first surgeon and the second woman to hold the position. Chief among her priorities is ensuring clinical trials yield the best results by increasing the diversity of participants; embracing the rapid expansion of new learning-based analytical tools and ensuring their use to improve care for all people; and restoring trust in science by making it accessible to all communities and inspiring the next generation of doctors and scientists. Dr. Bertagnolli is also committed to leveraging commonalities across all diseases—from biology to accessing care—to strengthen collaboration across the 27 NIH Institutes and Centers. |
