Response to NOT-DK-21-025 Request for Information: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Strategic Plan Draft Document
Submitted August 31, 2021
"The Endocrine Society appreciates the opportunity to comment on the draft National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Strategic Plan. Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest, largest, and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology. Our membership of over 18,000 includes NIDDK-funded clinical, translational, and basic scientists studying complex endocrine pathways, systems, and diseases. We reviewed the draft plan with great interest and thank you for including many important concepts and research opportunities that our members identified in our July 2020 response to the request for information (NOT-DK-20-015). While the entire plan includes many important themes and goals, we identify several specific priorities following from our earlier comments that we encourage NIDDK to retain in the final strategic plan."
