In response to NNI’s call for Signature Initiatives, the NIH Nanotechnology Task Force (NIDCR and NIBIB representatives) together with FDA and other Federal Agencies (NIST, NSF, and DoD) have generated a draft of the Initiative entitled “Nano-Regenerative Medicine”. The overarching goals of this Initiative are to develop robust and efficient platforms for standardization, fabrication, GMP manufacturing, and regulatory approval of nanotechnology-based products that will lead to new paradigms in low-cost therapies targeting regeneration of a range of tissues in the human body affected by disease and injury. On July 24, 2009, the draft of the Initiative was submitted for review to the Office of Science and Technology Policy through NNI. In 2010, a trans-Federal Agency Working Group was formed to continue the development of this Initiative.

Transition to Fatherhood
|
Research Initiative
|
OS
|
NICHD
|
This research examines the social and economic consequences of teenage or early fatherhood. This IAA is an administrative supplement to the NICHD Transition to Fatherhood Grant-5P01HD045610-05 that assists in developing better pregnancy prevention policies for young men by improving understanding of the social and economic consequences of early and premature transitions to fatherhood. This grant supplement will undertake secondary data analysis of multiple longitudinal datasets to examine if the consequences of premature parenting are different for men than for women. This information is needed in order to inform the development of effective pregnancy prevention strategies for young men.

Translational Research to Help Older Adults Maintain their Health and Independence in the Community

Research Initiative
|
AoA
|
NIA
|
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the Administration on Aging (AoA) have partnered to solicit applications using the NIH R01 or R21 award mechanisms for translational research that moves evidence-based research findings towards the development of new interventions, programs, policies, practices, and tools that can be used by community-based organizations to help elderly individuals remain healthy and independent, and living in their own homes and communities. The goal of this initiative is to support translational research involving collaborations between academic research centers and community-based organizations with expertise serving the elderly (such as city and state health departments, city/town leadership councils, and Area Agencies on Aging) that will enhance our understanding of practical tools, techniques, programs and policies that communities across the nation can use to more effectively respond to needs of their aging populations.
