Strategic Plans & Reports

NIDDK takes multiple approaches to research planning and priority setting to maximize the public investment in research and remain dynamic as science and opportunities change. NIDDK develops formal strategic plans and other planning reports, research progress reports, and statistical reports with input from external scientific researchers, patient advocates, and others, including the public. Most recent reports are available below. NIDDK regularly receives feedback through advisory and coordinating committees and holds meetings and workshops with the scientific community and people with lived experience of mission-area diseases to identify opportunities and challenges for future research,  review progress toward strategic planning goals, assess the state-of-the-science, coordinate with NIH-wide research efforts, and seek expert input on newly emerging discoveries and technological approaches that may inform future research directions.

Reports from other NIH institutes and centers are available on the NIH RePORT website.
