NIH Pathway to Independence Award Program

• Announced January 27, 2006
• Opportunity for promising postdoctoral
  scientists to receive both
• mentored and independent research support
  from the same award
• Responsive to NAS 2005 Report Bridges to
  Independence
• Beginning in Fall 2006 NIH plans to issue 150
  to 200 awards/year
• for the next 5 years

NIH Roadmap Mission

• Expedite basic research discoveries and speed
  the translation of those discoveries into
  clinical practice

30
NIH Roadmap for Medical Research

• Developed to
• Increase synergy across NIH
• Respond to concerns about the perceived
  balkanization of NIH (Congress, IOM report)
• Developed with wide extramural input
• Beyond the scope of a single Institute or Center
  and benefits all
• Emerging areas of science
• High risk/high impact research
• Enabling science infrastructure

31
Three Themes of the Roadmap
New Pathways to Discovery
Re-engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise
Research Teams of the Future
32
New Pathways to Discovery

• Molecular Libraries and Imaging Probes
• Building Blocks, Biological Pathways and Networks
• Structural Biology
• Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
• Nanomedicine

33
Research Teams of the Future

• High-Risk Research (Pioneer Awards)
• Interdisciplinary Research
• Public-private Partnerships

34
Re-engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise

• Translational Research Initiatives (CTSA)
• Harmonization of Clinical Research Policy
• Clinical Research Networks and NECTAR
• Dynamic Assessment of Patient-Reported Disease
  Outcomes
• Clinical Research Training

35
NIH Roadmap Strategy
36
NIH Roadmap for Medical Research

• Not a single initiative but over 345 individual
  awards in FY05
• 40 basic
• 40 translational
• 20 high risk
• Creates Incubator Space to accelerate critical
  research efforts that address major cross-cutting
  NIH priorities
• This Incubator Space is now a permanent part of
  NIH Office of Portfolio analysis and Strategic
  Initiatives (OPASI)

Common Fund for Shared Needs

• Common Fund will fund initiatives that are in
  areas of interest to multiple ICs
• Current Roadmap funds will serve as the baseline
  for the Common Fund 1.1 of the total NIH budget
  in FY 2006, growing to 1.7 in FY 2008

• Future growth of the Common Fund
• No growth above the FY 2008 percent until the
  annual NIH budget increase exceeds Biomedical
  Research and Development Price Index (BRDPI)
• Rate of growth will be determined annually by NIH
  Director and IC Directors
• Common Fund will increase up to 5 of the total
  NIH budget

NIDA and the NIH Roadmap

• Co-lead on an Interdisciplinary Research
  Initiative
• Development of innovative methodology in social
  and behavioral sciences research
• Involved in the development of clinical trials
  networks
• Supports the Molecular Libraries and Imaging

Road Map II Strategic Initiative Inclusion
Criteria

• The overarching goal of all Roadmap initiatives
  is to accelerate the
• discovery and translation of scientific knowledge
  into public health
• benefits. Roadmap is conceived of as a five to
  ten year incubator space
• for NIH initiatives that meet all of the
  following criteria
• Is the proposed initiative truly transforming
  could it dramatically affect how biomedical
  and/or behavioral research is conducted over the
  next decade?
• Will the outcomes from the proposed initiatives
  synergistically promote and advance the
  individual missions of the Institutes and Centers
  to benefit health?
• Does the proposed initiative require
  participation from NIH as a whole and/or does it
  address an area (s) of science that does not
  clearly fall within the mission of any one IC or
  OD program office?
• Is the proposed initiative something that no
  other entity is likely or able to do, and is
  there a public health benefit to having the
  results of the research in the public domain?

42
Schedule for Roadmap II

• July 3 consultation meetings with
  extramural scientists
• August Submission of initiative concepts
  from IC
• September 2 additional consultation meetings
• Pilot test responsiveness
  determination
• process on nominations to
  date
• October Release RFI for comments idea
  nominations
• from the broad
  public/research community
• November Mini-Retreat to review and prioritize
  idea
• nominations
