OBSSR Strategic Prospectus |
The current OBSSR strategic prospectus, The Contributions of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research to Improving the Health of the Nation: A Prospectus for the Future, was developed over a year of consensus building and deliberation. The prospectus addresses strategic recommendations for future research priorities in the behavioral and social sciences. If addressed, these priorities can make a substantial and critical contribution to the mission of the NIH to improve the Nation's health and wellbeing.
