The new year is always a great chance to take stock of whats ahead, but I find the vision forward is best informed by a thoughtful look into the rearview mirror. Last January, I shared aretrospective overviewof our work and priorities in the prior year. Most important among those highlights was the publication of the20212025 strategic plan, which laid out an ambitious blueprint for advancing research on whole person health.

So, how are we doing? Our strategic plan has served as an excellent guidepost to foster the necessary infrastructure and collaboration for research on whole person health. The opportunities ahead in 2023 are built on the exciting progress and accomplishments of 2022.
