At today’s meeting of the NIH Advisory Committee to the Director, NIH Deputy Director, Dr. Larry Tabak discussed the steps for moving forward with his SUAA Task Force. Task Force members (see below) were selected from among senior NIH staff specifically because they had no professional investment (“skin in the game”) in SUAA-related research. They will be performing an analysis to identify SUAA activities across the NIH for possible inclusion in a new SUAA Institute as well as SUAA activities within NIAAA and NIDA that could potentially be moved to other relevant ICs. To assist in those efforts, content experts from the staffs of NIAAA, NIDA, NCI, NIMH, NICHD, and NIDDK have been identified by their respective Institute Directors to aid in the portfolio analysis.
Task Force members include (Institute/Office affiliation):
Dr.Michael Gottesman, (OD/DIR)
Dr. Eric Green – (NHGRI)
Dr. Pamela McInnes – (NIDCR)
Dr. Roderic Pettigrew – (NIBIB)
Dr. Carl Roth – (NHLBI)
Dr. Kathy Zoon – (NIAID)
A website featuring the latest developments on this Task Force is expected to go live later this afternoon at http://feedback.nih.gov/
That site will also serve as a repository for information and a feedback portal on the newly proposed
46 organizations endorsed the attached letter from APA providing suggestions to Dr. Collins as the Task Force begins its review. Science Government Relations Office staff will continue to look for opportunities to inform this process.
