ASM Advocacy Town Hall: NIAID Strategic Plan

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) will be updating its strategic plan for the first time since 2017. The updated plan will set its priorities for the next 5 years. Don’t miss this opportunity for ASM members to review and provide feedback on ASM’s response to NIAID’s draft strategic plan and proposed priorities.

The agency’s Request for Information (RFI) provides details on the 5 proposed NIAID priorities. ASM has identified 3 key priorities where your input can make the biggest impact:

Priority 1: Advance foundational research on the immune system, host-pathogen interactions and pathogen biology.
Priority 2: Apply foundational knowledge of the complex interactions between microbes and the immune system to develop and test medical countermeasures against known infectious diseases (non-HIV/AIDS).
Priority 5: Support innovative research efforts to prepare for and respond to nationally or internationally significant biological incidents affecting public health.

The plan also identifies the cross-cutting themes of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA); women’s health; health disparities; research inclusivity and global health. Other topics of interest include infrastructure and research facilities, data science and sharing and workforce training.
