Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global morbidity and disability and is predicted to become the third greatest cause of death worldwide by 2020. Recently the economic burden associated with COPD is increasing in Korea, it is needed the promotion of government policy for the prevention and control of COPD. Because of the enormous public health burden imposed by chronic respiratory diseases including COPD and the urgent need for research progress in this area, the National Institute of Health (KNIH), Korea Centers of Diseases Control and Prevention (KCDC) implemented a project to suggest the national potential directions and strategic plan for chronic respiratory diseases research including COPD and asthma. This article is a summary of the suggestion and recommendation for COPD research directions with strategic plan by the project. The project suggested that the research directions of KNIH for chronic respiratory diseases prevention and control is primarily focused on: (1) strengthening of think tank capacities, (2) establishing of national research infrastructure and consolidating of capacity to enable robust data collection, (3) expanding national investment support for public health R&D, (4) encouraging the establishment of collaborating systems to develop the research and to disseminate research findings. We will consider the approaches to national research initiatives based on policies for COPD and enhance cooperation with experts and academic institutes to prioritize implementation research for COPD.
