On January 8, 2016, AMIA submitted comments to the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) on priority areas the Center should consider when developing its strategic plan. AMIA believes NCATS should focus on (1) developing ways to measure and convey how their programs impact patients and institutions; (2) defining its identity as the source for “systems science” within the NIH; and (3) ensuring that informatics continues to play a vital role in the organization’s focus.
