Beginning in 1998 and continuing every 5 years since, the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) Office of Dietary Supplements (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.” To further the ODS and NIH missions, ODS produces an annual strategic plan report to track accomplishments and responsiveness to current and longstanding needs.
