NCCAM Strategic Plan: 2010

As part of its strategic planning process, NCCAM is seeking broad input from many communities, including researchers, health care providers, CAM providers, educators, and the public. An initial step in the planning process is seeking stakeholder comments on three "big picture" topics:

These topics are central to any strategic plan and they are highly interconnected. Mission is closely connected to priority setting, which in turn hinges on impact, which leads to the questions of who knows, who cares, and who is listening and how information is disseminated. The three papers posted here are intended to provide some background and context for considering these issues. We invite you to send us your thoughts on a series of issues included at the conclusion of each paper.

Comments on these papers will be accepted through November 30, 2009.
