NBER: TRIPP Concept: Comments needed quickly on a potential NIH Roadmap initiative
TRIPP Concept: Comments needed quickly on a potential NIH Roadmap initiative
Dear aging, children's, health care, and health economics members:
The following invites comments on a funding proposal by some institutes at
NIH designed to develop an infrastructure of models, shared resources, and
education needed to bridge the gap between biological/biomedical models and
public policy decision-making.

>Dear Colleagues,
>
>NIH is currently looking for feedback on an initiative which is being
>proposed for the NIH's "Roadmap 2.0". NICHD is hoping to partner with
>the other Institutes/Centers on this effort soon, but in the meantime
>the Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research needs your comments
>regarding the "TRIPP Concept" (see attached). Unfortunately the
>deadline is Feb 8th. But the good news is that this potential block of
>funding could provide an opportunity for social and behavioral
>scientists by providing support to advance simulation/mathematical
>modeling in the area of population health.
>
>Please send your remarks to Patty Mabry (mabryp_at_od.nih.gov
><mailto:mabryp_at_od.nih.gov> ). To help Patty keep track of all the
>responses, please have "TRIPP Concept" in the subject line.

>Dear members of the NIH extramural research community,
>
>We are writing to invite your feedback on a program of funding
>initiatives that are being proposed under the next iteration of the
>National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap for Medical Research, known
>as "Roadmap 2.0" (for details on NIH Roadmap see
>http://nihroadmap.nih.gov <http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/> ).
>
>The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Office of Behavioral and Social
>Sciences Research (OBSSR), in partnership with the Fogarty International
>Center (FIC), the National Institute for Biomedical Imaging and
>Bioengineering (NIBIB), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
>Alcoholism (NIAAA), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), along
>with other NIH institutes and centers are developing a proposal to
>secure a block of funding for a family of funding initiatives under NIH
>Roadmap 2.0. The program proposal, titled Decision Support Tools:
>Translating Research Into Public Policy for population health (TRIPP) is
>designed to develop an infrastructure of models, shared resources, and
>education needed to bridge the gap between biological/biomedical models
>and public policy decision-making (see full one-page concept in the
>attached .pdf file).
>
>We will be presenting the TRIPP concept to the Institute and Center (IC)
>Directors of NIH very soon. Along with other proposal requirements,
>they have asked us to provide information about the receptivity to the
>TRIPP concept in the investigator community by February 8.
>
>We would like you to please read the concept for this proposal (see
>attached), and let us know:
>
>A) whether or not you feel there is a need for a program like TRIPP, and
>your level of enthusiasm for it, and
>
>B) why such an initiative is needed or would otherwise further
>science/address problems related to the NIH mission.
>
>You may also submit suggestions/questions about TRIPP. The level of
>enthusiasm in the investigator community is one criterion by which the
>IC Directors will be deciding which proposals receive NIH Roadmap funds.
>
>
>We are working on a very tight turnaround and request your response by
>COB THURSDAY February 7. However, responses coming in on or before
>February 28 will also be helpful to us. Send all replies to this
>message to mabryp_at_od.nih.gov
