SUMMARY: The Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic 
Initiatives (DPCPSI) in the Office of the Director, National Institutes 
of Health (NIH) is seeking public comment regarding its proposal to 
transfer the Office of Nutrition Research (ONR) from the National 
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to DPCPSI in 
the Office of the Director, NIH. The program offices in DPCPSI share a 
common mission of identifying emerging scientific opportunities, rising 
public health challenges, or scientific knowledge gaps that deserve 
special emphasis. The proposed reorganization would align this 
important office with offices having similar trans-NIH functions.

DATES: Any interested person may file written comments by sending an 
email to [email protected] by December 29, 2020. The 
statement should include the individual's name, and when applicable, 
professional affiliation.

ADDRESSES: The following email address has been established for 
comments on the reorganization: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robin I. Kawazoe, Deputy Director, 
DPCPSI, [email protected], 301-402-9852.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the NIH Reform Act of 2006 (42 
U.S.C. Sec.281 (d)(4)), DPCPSI will launch public website information 
at https://dpcpsi.nih.gov/proposed-reorg-ONR-transfer to further 
encourage public discussion of the proposal to reorganize. The public 
is encouraged to email [email protected] for comments and 
questions.

    Dated: December 16, 2020.
