Dear Dr. Byrnes,
"Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the draft Center for Scientific Review (CSR) Strategic Plan for 2022 – 2027. Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest, largest and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology. Our membership of over 18,000 includes basic and clinical researchers supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and our members are proud to volunteer their time and expertise in the review of endocrine-relevant research grants. We enthusiastically support the goals of the draft plan and in particular the underlying principles of diversity and fairness, transparency in decision making, and communication with stakeholders. We offer several suggestions that, if adopted, will help ensure that CSR is able to accomplish the goals through implementation of the final strategic plan."
