NIH releases updated strategic plan for data science

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is pleased to announce the release of the 2025-2030 Strategic Plan for Data Science which sets a bold vision for the future of data science at the NIH. 

Significant advances in data science have been made since the initial NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science, released in 2018. This updated 2025-2030 NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science builds on those accomplishments and collaborations across the NIH and with other partners in academia, industry, and philanthropy under the initial NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science, as well as input from the data science community to address challenges and opportunities going forward. 

This Strategic Plan sets five goals that prepare NIH to navigate the evolving technology landscape, address the rapid rise in the quantity and diversity of data, and bridge new data to existing knowledge — ultimately supporting data-driven discovery that will improve health for all.
