The
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Strategic
Plan 2001–2005
|
This
document presents the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism's (NIAAA's) Strategic Plan for the 5-year period
2001–2005. This plan will guide NIAAA in assuring that its
resources are invested wisely. It will strengthen coordination
within the Institute and across Federal agencies to eliminate
costly duplication of programs and services. Determining which
areas of research are ready for pursuit, and which ideas merit
being moved ahead on an accelerated track, is essential for
ensuring continued scientific progress to meet national needs.
This plan will support the Institute in responding to the
requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).
This Act, passed in 1993, requires NIAAA to plan and measure
performance in new ways.
