Accelerating the dissemination of research-based drug abuse treatment into clinical practice is a priority for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and represents the core mission of the Blending Initiative. NIDA and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) joined together to create the Blending Initiative in 2001 to reduce the gap that exists between the publication of research results and impact on treatment delivery. This initiative incorporates collaboration between clinicians, scientists, and experienced trainers to catalyze the creation of user-friendly treatment tools and products and facilitate the adoption of research-based interventions into front-line clinical settings. Through this initiative, NIDA and SAMHSA’s Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTCs) disseminate treatment and training products based on results from studies conducted by the National Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (CTN) as well as other NIDA-supported research.

This task order provides financial support to the National Institute for Occupations Safety and Health (NIOSH) personnel to travel to, attend, and participate in several National Toxicology Programs (NTP) meetings held in Research Triangle Park, NC and Washington, DC. These included Interagency Committee for Chemical Evaluation and Coordination meetings, NTP Technical Report meetings, NTP Board of Scientific Counselors meetings, Report on Carcinogen meetings, NTP Executive Committee Meetings, and ad hoc meetings addressing specific NTP issues. All of these meetings were aimed at investigating, defining, or reporting hazards associated exposure to environmental chemicals. Many of the exposures are occupational and NIOSH personnel provide expert opinion on chemical exposures linked to cancer, respiratory disease, development and reproductive disorders, neurotoxicity, and immunological toxicity.

This interagency working group was established in January 2010 within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health as a forum for HHS agencies to share updates on adolescent health activities and address cross-cutting issues. The Adolescent Health Working Group focuses on three current near-term priorities: (1) Enrolling eligible adolescents in Medicaid and Children''s Health Insurance Program; (2) Preventing and addressing mental disorders and promoting mental wellness in adolescents; and (3) Youth Engagement. NIMH staff worked with SAMHSA to produce a draft framework of strategies to advance priority 2: Preventing and Addressing mental disorders and promoting mental wellness in adolescents. This framework identified opportunities that could be implemented with existing resources, and proposed ideas would need additional resources.
