 | | Events and Announcements | Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Information for NIH Applicants and Recipients
The NIH is deeply concerned for the health and safety of people involved in NIH research, and about the effects on the biomedical enterprise in the areas affected by the HHS declared public health emergency for COVID-19. Due to the potential exceptional impact, we want to assure our recipient community that NIH will be doing our part to help you continue your research.
This is a rapidly evolving situation and we will provide updated guidance and information as it becomes available.

NIH-Wide Strategic Plan Request for Information
NIH issued a Request for Information seeking public input on a framework for the 2021-2025 NIH-wide Strategic Plan. The new plan will build on the previous NIH-wide Strategic Plan to guide NIH's research efforts over the next five years. The framework articulates NIH's priorities in the following key areas:
- Biomedical and Behavioral Science Research
- Scientific Research Capacity
- Scientific Integrity, Public Accountability, and Social Responsibility in the Conduct of Science.
In addition, the framework identifies several cross-cutting themes that span the scope of these priorities.
NIH invites you to review the framework in our Request for Information and to provide your feedback via the RFI submission site. The RFI will remain open through March 25, 2020. NIH is encouraging stakeholder organizations (e.g., patient advocacy groups, professional societies, etc.) to submit a single response reflective of the views of the organization/membership as a whole. NIH will be hosting two webinars in March to describe the planning process and answer questions. Information about these webinars will be posted on the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan webpage as soon as information is available.
Your input is vital to ensuring that the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 puts biomedical research on a promising and visionary path.

CANCELLED: OBSSR Director's Webinar on March 17
The OBSSR Director's Webinar "Behavioral Health and Injury Prevention: The Emergency Department as a Window to Community and Population Health" scheduled on Tuesday, March 17 has been cancelled.
In support of the Office of Personnel Management guidance to strengthen efforts to protect the federal workforce to ensure continuity of operations, NIH is urging staff to limit attendance at large meetings to those that are mission critical. NIH also is urging that all large meetings and symposia that are not mission critical and are scheduled to be held at NIH facilities or organized by NIH over the next 30 days either be held virtually using tele/videoconferencing services, postponed, or cancelled. In the coming weeks, NIH will evaluate this guidance for travel and meetings that take place beyond the 30-day period and will provide updated guidance.
Video Recording: Measurement of Pain: Behavioral, Social and Biological Factors Meeting
The recording of the Measurement of Pain: Behavioral, Social and Biological Factors Meeting, held on February 13-14, 2020, is now available. Hosted by the OBSSR, the goal of the meeting was to inform the wider behavioral and social sciences community, stakeholders, and NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) on cutting-edge next generation measurement of pain and what research is needed to develop, test, and validate this next generation of pain measures.

Understanding and predicting health behaviour change: a contemporary view through the lenses of meta-reviews
The special issue of Health Psychology Review authored by Karina W. Davidson, Ph.D. and colleagues focused on the Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) is now published. Research on health behaviour change examines how to help people engage in healthy behaviours to prevent the development or worsening of chronic disease and early mortality and to improve mental health and well-being.
