NIH Town Hall on Strategic Plan for Disability Research

About the training

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is in the initial stage of developing an agency-wide NIH Strategic Plan for Disability Research. This strategic plan will identify scientific themes and develop operational goals and objectives to advance research activities that promote the health and well-being of people with disabilities. Central to the strategic planning process is robust and meaningful community engagement to obtain a diverse range of input that will help inform the plan. 

NIH invites members of disability communities — including people with lived experience of disability, researchers, clinicians, advocacy organizations, and professional associations — to participate in the strategic planning process.

NIH will be hosting an hour-long town hall on December 3. The virtual event will include a presentation that provides background on pertinent NIH disability efforts, discussion on the disability research strategic planning process, and a summary of input and feedback received to date. After the presentation, a moderator will facilitate a Q&A session with the audience.

ASL and CART will be provided for this event. To request additional reasonable accommodations or for questions, please contact djohnikin@scgcorp.com.
