Subject: Update on CDC Research Agenda Development Public Participation =
Meetings
Importance: High
Dear Colleague,
From 2001 through 2004, CDC convened three workgroups to make = recommendations
on how to develop CDC's first ever agency-wide research = agenda. As you know,
in January 2005, the CDC Office of Public Health = Research, Office of the Chief
Science Officer, Office of the Director, = embarked on the monumental task of
implementing these recommendations to = develop the CDC Health Protection
Research Guide, 2006-2015. Many of = you were able to join the 450 people who
participated in our March 2005 =
Public Participation Meetings to help us develop the research agenda. =
We are pleased to report that the public comment draft of the Research = Guide
will be announced in the Federal Register and officially released = this Friday,
November 18, 2005. The 60-day public comment period will = run from November 18
through January 15, 2006. =20
The Research Guide will serve as a blueprint for research areas that = should be
addressed during the next decade by CDC and its partners in = response to
current and future needs and events. The Research Guide = will also be used to
help define the research priorities that support = CDC's new Health Protection
Goals, and will enable the creation of a = shorter-term research agenda that
stems from the goals implementation =
activities currently underway. As you know, the public comment draft =
of the Research Guide was developed with extensive input from a wide = range of
federal, state, tribal, academic, and non-profit partners, as = well as the
public-at-large. CDC staff and its external advisory = committees also provided
input. After integrating this input to produce = the current draft, we received
the CDC Director's approval to move to = the public comment phase. CDC is now
seeking additional review and = comment through the formal public comment
period. =20
During the formal public comment period, you will be able to submit = written
comments in three ways. You will be able to review the Research = Guide and
enter comments directly at our Website, = http://www.rsvpBOOK.com/custom_pages/50942/index.php.
You may also = email comments to <mailto:ResearchGuide@cdd.gov> ResearchGuide@cdc.gov.
=
Finally, you will be able send comments to our address: Office of = Pubic Health
Research, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, = 1600 Clifton Road,
N.E., Mail Stop D-72, Atlanta, GA 30333.
=20
We hope you will notify your colleagues and partners about the = availability of
the public comment draft and encourage them to = disseminate it to others,
review it and submit comments during the = official comment period. We will be
publicizing the availability of the = Research Guide as well through our
Website, targeted emails and a press = release.
After the public comment period, we will consider the comments we = receive and
revise the Research Guide to produce the final version. =20
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us (see = below).
We look forward to receiving your comments on the Research Guide. We =
thank you for your continued interest and support in developing this = landmark
