SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The roundtable will also invite public 
discussion of proposed organizational changes at NCATS, including 
abolishing the Office of Drug Development Partnership Programs and the 
Office of Translational Medicine, revising the functional statement of 
the Office of Special Initiatives, and renaming the Chemical Genomics 
Branch as the Translational Models Branch. These changes are intended 
to consolidate program components within the NCATS Office of the 
Director and align one of the Center's intramural research branches 
with efforts to create non-animal models of disease. During the online 
forum, members of the public will be able to review the proposed 
changes and submit comments.
    The NIH Reform Act of 2006 (42 U.S.C.281 (d)(4)) requires public 
notice of proposed reorganization plans. This announcement and the 
public forum serve as that notice.

    Dated: September 2, 2026.
Joni L. Rutter,
Director, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.
