The National Library of Medicine (NLM) Board of Regents charged the Library with developing a new long range plan for 2006-2016. Outstanding leaders from all sectors of NLM’s diverse constituencies are currently meeting to provide the broadest view of NLM’s mission, current situation, and its potential contributions to the health and well-being of America in the 21st Century. Four planning panels have been formed:
Panel 1. Resources and Infrastructure;
Panel 2. Information for Underserved and Diverse Populations;
Panel 3. Support for Clinical and Public Health Systems; and
Panel 4. Support for Genomic Science
This project briefing will provide a ‘first-look’ at key issues and recommendations that are emerging, and an opportunity for informal feedback and comment.
