NIH has been developing a new tool that utilizes knowledge management to provide consistent and transparent information to the public about NIH research. With this new computer-based tool, the public will see NIH’s research activities broken down into nearly 360 categories covering research areas, diseases and conditions each fiscal year.
The Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) Project recently launched its public website to keep the public informed about the way RCDC categorization will change the way NIH develops reports starting in 2009 on research funding for fiscal year 2008 and beyond.
A webinar will be held on June 11, 2008 to introduce the system to the public. The webinar will provide an overview to the RCDC system followed by a question-and-answer session.
