NIH Launches Feedback NIH, Requests Comments on Proposed New Institute and Center

The National Institutes of Health has launched a new web site, Feedback NIH, that will provide the most up-to-date information on various planning and development issues that arise at NIH and provide a place for NIH to receive input and insights from individuals across NIH, the biomedical research community, and the public.

NIH is currently seeking comments and questions on two initiatives:

• The proposed new Institute for Substance Use, Abuse and Addiction that would integrate the relevant research portfolios from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and other NIH Institutes and Centers.
  
  
• The proposed new National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences that would generate innovative tools, technologies, and ideas that would transform translational efforts throughout the scientific community.
