NIH Request for Information: Research Plan on Rehabilitation
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research is inviting comments and suggestions to guide the revision of the Research Plan on Rehabilitation on behalf of the Trans NIH Medical Rehabilitation Coordinating Committee.
In 2016, the National Institutes of Health published the Research Plan on Rehabilitation which outlined the priorities of the Institutes and Centers to advance rehabilitation science. Since that time, the NIH promoted multiple initiatives, workshops, and funding opportunities aimed at advancing the priorities within the research plan. Moreover, the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development presented annual updates on the changes in the portfolio following the publication of the research plan to the National Advisory Board for Medical Rehabilitation Research.
The NIH Medical Rehabilitation Coordinating Committee is beginning the update to the research plan, as required by the 21st Century Cures Act (42 USC 285g-4), and is seeking guidance from the community of stakeholders involved in this research. Specifically, the NIH requests feedback on the following:
- The community’s perception of progress towards achieving the priorities specified in the research plan,
- Potential priorities or areas of research to consider in the update of the research plan,
- Current priorities that should be retained and continued,
- Emerging areas of science that will impact the research plan on rehabilitation,
- Potential focus areas for concentrated work in medical rehabilitation research.
The feedback garnered from this request for information will be reported at the May 2019 meeting of the National Advisory Board on Medical Rehabilitation Research and will be incorporated into the update of the Research Plan on Rehabilitation that is planned for 2021.
