The goals and initiatives in this plan for 2004-2009, as in the
original plan in 1998, emphasize the important role of ODS in research on
disease prevention and health promotion, education, and communication of
scientific information about dietary supplements. The plan for 2004-2009
provides a roadmap intended to catalyze research that will expand the
scientific knowledge base to improve health of the public.
The ODS held a public meeting on May 20, 2005, as a part of maintaining the
currency of its Strategic Plan. Representatives of the ODS stakeholder
community and other interested parties identified emerging needs and opportunitites
for possible inclusion. A synopsis of the reommendations, the presentations, and
comments are available at http://ods.od.nih.gov/Strategic_Planning_2004-2009/Public_Meeting_2005.aspx.
In preparation for developing its strategic plan, the Office of Dietary
Supplements prepared a document summarizing its accomplishments from 1995 to
2003. The Background Paper for Strategic Planning is available at:
