Request for Information on Themes for the NIAMS Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2029

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) supports research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases; the training of basic and clinical scientists to carry out this research; and the dissemination of information on research progress in these diseases. NIAMS is updating its Strategic Plan to help guide the research, training, and information dissemination programs it supports between fiscal years 2025 through 2029. The new Plan will focus on cross-cutting thematic research opportunities that position the Institute to make a difference in the lives of all Americans.Because public input is a crucial step in this effort, the Institute issued a Request for Information (NOT-AR-22-023) and hosted a meeting attended by approximately 160 researchers, patient representatives, and staff from other Federal entities to gain insight into topics that could be included in the new Strategic Plan.

Through this Request for Information, NIAMS invites feedback from researchers in academia and industry, health care professionals, patient advocates and health advocacy organizations, scientific or professional organizations, Federal agencies, and other interested members of the public on the Institutes distillation of the input received to date. Professional societies and patient organizations are strongly encouraged to submit a single response that reflects the views of their entire membership.
