OFFICE OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHES 2025–2029 STRATEGIC PLAN

Beginning in 1998 and updated periodically, ODS has created and implemented a strategic plan based on its mandates and mission as provided by Congress and in tandem with the overarching mission of NIH to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability.

The Strategic Plan 2025–2029 outlines a visionary framework for creating an expansive dietary supplement research agenda, which will promote greater collaboration and coordination of innovative dietary supplement research across NIH and the federal government. This plan also articulates ODS’ scientific priorities of diverse populations, healthy lifespan, and resilience, along with ODS’ primary goals to advance research, expand research capacity, and foster stewardship, collaboration, and accountability.
