<p><strong>Please note: </strong>NICHD has begun the process of updating our 2020 plan for 2025 through 2029. Visit our <a href="/about/org/nichd-strategic-plan-2025">NICHD Strategic Plan 2025 page</a> to learn more, including how to provide input.</p> <p>The plan supports NICHD’s new vision and mission statements, and lays out the institute’s research themes, goals, and objectives. The institute is grateful for the contributions made by individuals, families, policymakers, researchers, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and professional societies in developing this plan.</p> <p>NICHD scientists and staff have been working since the plan’s launch in September 2019 to make the research goals, and objectives a reality. We will be updating the “Check Our Progress” section as implementation efforts proceed. And we will continue to lead research and training to understand human development, improve reproductive health, enhance the lives of children and adolescents, and optimize abilities for all.</p> </div> <div class="tablet:grid-col-6 mobile-lg:grid-col-6 grid-col-12"> <img class="img-fluid" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/strategic-plan-2020-cover.jpg" data-entity-uuid="df56b247-a4b0-4d92-bef9-e13ad5c9450a" data-entity-type="file" alt="NICHD Strategic Plan cover." width="850" height="1100" loading="lazy"><br>You can also <a href="/sites/default/files/2019-09/NICHD_Strategic_Plan.pdf" target="_blank">download the PDF version</a> (PDF 2.2 MB) of the NICHD Strategic Plan 2020.</div> </div> <hr> <h2 class="active-heading"><span style="padding-left:10px;">Explore the Plan</span></h2> <div class="grid-row grid-gap no-margin no-padd" style="padding-bottom:15px;"> <div class="tablet:grid-col-6 mobile-lg:grid-col-6 grid-col-12" style="padding-bottom:10px;"> <img class="img-fluid" style="margin-top:10px;" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/strategic-plan-home-themes.jpg" data-entity-uuid="83a1c935-a84c-414d-9972-8a83a0caa15f" data-entity-type="file" alt="A micrograph of a scaffold for growing stem cells." width="269" height="245" loading="lazy"><h3><a href="/about/org/strategicplan/researchthemes">Scientific Research Themes and Objectives</a></h3> <p>The NICHD Strategic Plan presents NICHD’s research goals and objectives under five broad research themes that will enable NICHD to focus its efforts on the most significant public health challenges and advance science in these areas of priority.</p> </div> <div class="tablet:grid-col-6 mobile-lg:grid-col-6 grid-col-12"> <img class="img-fluid" style="margin-top:10px;" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/strategic-plan-home-goals.jpg" data-entity-uuid="9e1e7edb-0118-4b51-a91d-0f0b21513fde" data-entity-type="file" alt="A young girl wearing lab goggles and holding a molecular model." width="269" height="245" loading="lazy"><h3><a href="/about/org/strategicplan/aspirationalgoals">Aspirational Goals</a></h3> <p>NICHD encourages the field to transcend what is currently considered possible to advance research that could lead to healthy and optimal lives for all.</p> </div> </div> <h2 class="active-heading"><span style="padding-left:10px;">Track and Share</span></h2> <div class="grid-row grid-gap no-margin no-padd"> <div class="tablet:grid-col-6 mobile-lg:grid-col-6 grid-col-12" style="padding-bottom:10px;"> <img class="img-fluid" style="margin-bottom:10px;margin-top:10px;" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/strategic-plan-home-progress.jpg" data-entity-uuid="a617d2fe-97c8-4407-ab9b-a4e20c768060" data-entity-type="file" alt="Ultrasound of a fetus." width="269" height="245" loading="lazy"><h3><a href="/about/org/strategicplan/checkourprogress">Check Our Progress</a></h3> <p>See how NICHD is making progress toward our goals.</p> </div> <div class="tablet:grid-col-6 mobile-lg:grid-col-6 grid-col-12"> <img class="img-fluid" style="margin-bottom:10px;margin-top:10px;" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/strategic-plan-home-spreadword.jpg" data-entity-uuid="a8ca5948-9c10-4672-900e-adfd40eaa1fb" data-entity-type="file" alt="Left side: Images from the NICHD Strategic Plan.
