 The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) opened officially on July 1, 1995. The U.S.
Congress established the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) in the Office of the
Director, NIH, in recognition of the key role that behavioral and social factors often play in illness and
health. More >>

From the Director |
 Understanding Health and Behavior in Bits and Bytes
In 1982, Megatrends author John Naisbitt wrote, “The most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st century will not occur because of technology but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human.” Now, almost three decades later, we are at a moment in time when technology actually has the potential to expand our concept of what it means to be human —that is, to better understand the complex interplay of the many factors critical to physical and mental health and well-being.

OBSSR Strategic Prospectus |
The current OBSSR strategic prospectus, The Contributions of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research to Improving the Health of the Nation: A Prospectus for the Future, was developed over a year of consensus building and deliberation. The prospectus addresses strategic recommendations for future research priorities in the behavioral and social sciences. If addressed, these priorities can make a substantial and critical contribution to the mission of the NIH to improve the Nation's health and wellbeing.
