Diabetes Research Strategic Plan Participants
The Diabetes Research Strategic Plan has been developed under the auspices of the Diabetes Mellitus Interagency Coordinating Committee (DMICC). Each of the 11 working groups convened to develop the draft Research Plan was chaired by a scientist external to the NIH, and was comprised of additional external scientific experts as well as representatives of DMICC member organizations and diabetes voluntary organizations. In addition to the focused working groups, development of the plan was informed by insights provided by an overarching Diabetes Research Strategic Plan Leadership Group comprised of the chairs of the 11 working groups and representatives from the government and from diabetes voluntary organizations. In all, over 150 people with diverse expertise in diabetes contributed to the initial drafting of the Diabetes Research Strategic Plan. The membership of the DMICC and the Diabetes Research Strategic Plan Leadership Group, the working group rosters, and a list of other contributors to this strategic planning process are provided below.
