Announcing a New Version of the Prevention Research Expertise Survey
 The ODP recently released an updated version of the Prevention Research Expertise Survey (PRES), and we encourage everyone—especially anyone with methodological and analytical expertise—to participate. This voluntary survey now better captures the current designs, methods, and topics that investigators are working in, and the experience that the NIH is looking for when identifying peer reviewers.
To ensure that NIH-supported research is both rigorous and reproducible, study sections need reviewers with relevant methodological expertise who can evaluate if research applications are using appropriate methods. PRES provides researchers, statisticians, and others in prevention science with an opportunity to share that expertise with us.
PRES takes approximately 15–25 minutes to complete and covers areas from research methods, study designs, and health topics, to working with different populations in different settings. Based on your responses, skill set, and interest, NIH staff may contact you about serving on a study section or giving a talk on your area of expertise.

2021 Community Preventive Services Task Force Annual Report to Congress
 The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) released its 2021 Annual Report to Congress. The report includes nine recommendations and findings for community intervention approaches that address heart disease and stroke prevention, HIV prevention, nutrition, and physical activity. It covers three economic reviews for recommended interventions addressing asthma, health equity, and heart disease and stroke prevention. The report also features children’s mental health and highlights CPSTF recommendations for school-based cognitive behavioral therapy programs that can help improve children’s access to mental health services.
The ODP is an official liaison for CPSTF and works to make sure that CPSTF recommendations represent the views, concerns, and needs of the NIH and our constituents. ODP and NIH staff serve on systematic review teams and help translate CPSTF recommendations into action.
