Implementation of the Strategic Plan

OBSSR will execute its strategic plan by bringing together key partners to identify gaps and opportunities in BSSR within the broader NIH research enterprise, particularly those not adequately addressed by individual NIH institutes and centers (ICs). We will continuously assess the plan’s implementation using both qualitative and quantitative methods, including portfolio analyses, systematic evaluation, and engagement in research policy. We will methodically measure and monitor the impact and progress of our initiatives against our strategic priorities.

We will regularly explore opportunities for collaboration across NIH with the BSSR Coordinating Committee (BSSR-CC), which includes representatives from all NIH ICOs. Performance metrics will be developed in consultation with our staff and the BSSR-CC, ensuring alignment with priority areas. These partnerships will amplify the impact of OBSSR’s initiatives, unlocking new opportunities and fostering innovation through information exchange.
