Topics for Today My background Leadership transitions and other changes My vision for NIH
Leadership transitions and other changes
NIH Initiative: Understanding ASD NIH is launching an Initiative Integrating diverse data enabling researchers to examine complex factors influencing ASD rates.
NIH Real-World Data Platform Accelerating discovery Real-time health monitoring Pharmacy chains National disease registries Health organizations Opportunities Data Sources Goal: Broad coverage Goal: Broad coverage of U.S. Population of U.S. Population Drug development Clinical data Longitudinal datasets Federal partnerships Claims & billing Computer resources AI implementation Environmental Regulatory approvals Sensors & wearables Research competitions
Private and Public Data; Protection of Patient Confidentiality; Researcher Access Timeline Partnerships Build partnerships across HHS and with external stakeholders Development Leverage existing NIH programs to fast-track progress Define go/no-go milestones and progress checkpoints Expand data sources for real-world evidence Protect patient confidentiality Pilot the platform within six months of project launch Support studying chronic disease and autism
Building Blocks to Improving Health A blueprint for the future of biomedical research A blueprint for the future of biomedical research
Improve Population Health NIH must address the health needs of the American people and find better ways to prevent, treat, and cure chronic diseases.
Ensure reliable results NIH-supported science should be replicable, reproducible, and generalizable.
Make big advances NIH must invest in innovation, and embrace new technologies, new ideas, and new approaches to old problems.
Maintain safety and transparency Research should meet the highest ethical standards and should not endanger human populations.
Encourage academic freedom NIH will foster a culture in which scientists can express disagreement respectfully.
Novel biomedical discoveries that enhance health and lengthen life are more vital than ever to our country s future.
