The 21st Century Cures Act provides funding for key initiatives relevant to the behavioral and social sciences and includes administrative provisions that facilitate health research and increase the privacy protections of research participants. At about the same time as the passage of the Act, the National Institutes of Health Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research released its Strategic Plan 2017-2021, which addresses three scientific priorities: (a) improve the synergy of basic and applied behavioral and social sciences research; (b) enhance and promote the research infrastructure, methods, and measures needed to support a more cumulative and integrated approach to behavioral and social sciences; and (c) facilitate the adoption of behavioral and social sciences research findings in health research and in practice. This commentary describes the implications of the Cures Act on these scientific priorities and on the behavioral and social sciences more broadly.
《21世纪治愈法案》为与行为和社会科学相关的关键举措提供资金，并包括有助于健康研究和加强研究参与者隐私保护的行政条款。在该法案通过的同时，美国国立卫生研究院行为和社会科学研究办公室发布了其《2017 - 2021年战略计划》，该计划涉及三个科学重点：(a) 提高基础与应用行为和社会科学研究的协同作用；(b) 加强和促进支持对行为和社会科学采取更具累积性和综合性方法所需的研究基础设施、方法和措施；(c) 促进行为和社会科学研究成果在健康研究和实践中的应用。本评论阐述了《治愈法案》对这些科学重点以及更广泛的行为和社会科学的影响。
