The Office of Science Policy Analysis (OSPA) often leads the development of reports mandated by Congress. Examples of reports prepared by OSPA include Congressional Appropriations Committee Reports (CACRs) and those mandated by the NIH Reform Act of 2006, which includes the NIH Director’s Biennial Report and the report on NIH Collaboration with other Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) agencies.

Report on NIH Collaboration with Other HHS Agencies
NIH’s collaborative efforts with her sister agencies are a critical component of the HHS mission to protect the health of all Americans and provide essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. As the Nation’s leading medical and behavioral research institution, NIH is dedicated to the pursuit of fundamental scientific knowledge about living systems and the application of that knowledge to improve people’s health and reduce the burden of disease. This annual report documents the extensive collaborations with HHS agencies that serve to promote the translation of NIH’s research to community health practice, coordinate a range of health programs and policies, enable better tracking of patient safety initiatives, and optimize agency efforts to reduce health disparities.

Implementation of Institute and Center Strategic Plans
In FY 2007, the Committee on Appropriations requested that the NIH submit a CACR on how NIH Institute and Centers (ICs) implement their strategic plans. In response, OSPA lead the development of a report in which each IC details the many ways it each uses its strategic plans. The report revealed that although every IC has unique uses for its strategic plan, they also share a number of common implementation strategies.
