As part of its 2002 Strategic Plan [ PDF (207 KB) | Help ], the Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes pledged to revisit and update its focus and strategies after two years of its implementation. The Institute Advisory Board undertook a series of exercises over the course of 2003 to assess the original plan and refine its vision for the next 3 years of INMD strategic activity. Through this work, obesity was confirmed as a continuing priority within the strategic outcomes identified in the CIHR Blueprint including outstanding research, outstanding researchers in innovative environments, and transforming health research into action. In addition, the Board determined that INMD should explore new avenues for support of other research areas within its mandate and engage stakeholders in a dialogue to discuss needs and future opportunities.
The strategic outcomes, objectives and actions represent the collective wisdom of INMD's dynamic and hard-working Advisory Board, building upon the solid foundation of the inaugural strategic plan. With this guide in hand, we look forward to a continuation of our innovative strategic opportunities for research funding, to enhancing the vital partnerships developed over the past three years, and to embarking on new relationships that will foster the achievement of mutual goals.
