IMPERATIVES FOR NIH • Accelerate the pace of discoveries in the life sciences. • Need for more rapid translation from laboratories to patients • Need for novel approaches that are orders of magnitude more effective. • NEED FOR NEW STRATEGIES “NIH ROADMAP “
New Pathways to Discovery Research Teams of the Future Re-engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise NIH RoadmapThree CORE Themes
Architecture of an 11,000 kDa pyruvate dehydrogenase complex 475 Å J. Milne and S. Subramaniam, National Cancer Institute, NIH
Multi-disciplinary teams • Larger, coordinated, • resource-sharing teams • Combine physical, biological and information sciences • High Risk/ High Impact NIH Roadmap Research Teams of the Future Scale and complexity of 21st C. research require new organizational models for scientific teams

Roadmap Implementation • All NIH ICs made the corporate decision to have a common pool ofresources that will be used for all current and future investment in the Roadmap initiative • $128M in FY 2004 • Over $2.1B cumulative by FY 2009
CHALLENGES FOR NIH • Revolutionary and rapid changes in Science • Increasing breadth of mission and growth • Complex organization with many units ( 27 institutes and centers, multiple program offices- OWHR, OAR, ORD….) • Disease, organ, life stage…. • CONVERGENCE OF SCIENCE
