Increasing Knowledge Utilization of Preventive Services and Addressing Research Gaps Partners for Prevention: The National Institutes of Health and the Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) Jennifer Villani, PhD, MPH Senior Health Science Policy Analyst 1

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)  NIH is the largest source of funding for biomedical research in the world.  Mission is 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. 2

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)  NIH supports thousands of scientists in universities and research institutions in every state across America and around the globe.  NIH is comprised of 27 distinct Institutes and Centers.  For FY2013-2016, NIH support for prevention research was estimated to be 21% of total R01 awards/23% of total R01 dollars (at an average of $2.4B per year). 3

NIH Office of Disease Prevention (ODP)  Mission : to assess, facilitate, and stimulate research in disease prevention and health promotion, and disseminate the results of this research to improve public health.  Strategic Plan (2014-18): https://prevention.nih.gov/strategic-plan  Strategic Priorities include: 1. Monitor NIH investments in prevention research and assess the progress and results of that research. 2. Identify prevention research areas for investment or expanded effort by NIH. 3. Promote the use of the best available methods in prevention research. 4. Promote collaborative prevention research projects and facilitate coordination of such projects across the NIH and with other public and private entities. 5. Identify and promote the use of evidence-based interventions. 6. Increase the visibility of prevention research at the NIH and across the U.S. 4

NIH is a Federal Agency Liaison to the CPSTF Liaison representatives do the following:  Represent the views, concerns, and needs of their organization and constituents  Provide input into review prioritization and CPSTF recommendations and other findings  Serve on, or recommend participants to serve on individual systematic review teams  Disseminate CPSTF recommendations among their members and constituents  Help their members and constituents translate CPSTF recommendations into action  Provide feedback on how CPSTF recommendations and other findings were disseminated, implemented, and used, and how well the recommendations and other findings met the needs of their constituents 5

Goals of the ODP and CDC/CPSTF Partnership  Ensure that CPSTF evidence reports and recommendations are informed by rigorous NIH-supported research, where appropriate.  Increase awareness of CPSTF identified research gaps to help inform priority setting and decision-making within NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs). 7

Disseminating Insufficient Evidence Findings  There are 90 CPSTF insufficient evidence (IE) findings (>40% of all Task Force findings).  IE findings are found across 15 broad topics (asthma; cancer; diabetes; excessive alcohol use; HIV/AIDS, STIs, and teen pregnancy; health equity; mental health, motor vehicle injury; obesity; oral health; physical activity; tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure; vaccination; violence; worksite health).  Researchers may be uncertain of what evidence is lacking or how they can address research gaps.  Dissemination can be difficult across 27 ICOs and a very large and geographically diverse extramural investigator community. 8
