Strategic Plan

ORIP is part of the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI) within the NIH Office of the Director (OD). DPCPSI identifies scientific research gaps and emerging opportunities, as well as arising public health challenges. The NIH-wide nature of ORIP activities demands close collaboration among ORIP divisions (Division of Comparative Medicine and Division of Construction and Instruments), DPCPSI, and the entire NIH to optimize infrastructure support of studies for a wide range of diseases across the basic, translational, and clinical research continuum. The ORIP Strategic Plan 2026–2030 includes four strategic priority areas.
