Objective #1: Improve the ability of decision makers to use data and tools that can help to optimize investments in biomedical research.

Objective #2: Develop and disseminate metrics and standards of the highest quality that can inform best practice in portfolio analysis at NIH.

Objective #3: Develop and disseminate standards of the highest quality across the metascience subfield that focuses on the biomedical research enterprise.

OPA will assess the progress on these objectives regularly and adopt new approaches needed to optimize support for NIH decision makers. These objectives also directly support objectives in the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan.
