Development of HHS policy regarding the funding of research with the potential for generating HPAI H5N1 viruses that are transmissible among mammals by respiratory droplets. Also began planning an international consultative workshop to solicit international and multidisciplinary perspectives on the issue of HPAI H5N1 gain-of-function research and the framework for guiding funding decisions on proposals (submitted to HHS and its operating divisions) that have the potential for generating HPAI H5N1 viruses that are transmissible among mammals by respiratory droplets.

The Diabetes Mellitus Interagency Coordinating Committee (DMICC) facilitates cooperation, communication, and collaboration on diabetes among these government entities. DMICC meetings, held several times a year, help members identify emerging issues and opportunities and develop ways in which different government components can work together and build upon each other’s expertise and resources. This approach helps ensure that federal diabetes activities are coordinated and not duplicated, as well as stimulates collaborations where appropriate.

The Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network (DRCR.net) is a collaborative network dedicated to facilitating multicenter clinical research of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema and associated conditions. The DRCR.net supports the identification, design, and implementation of multicenter clinical research initiatives focused on diabetes-induced retinal disorders. Principal emphasis is placed on clinical trials, but epidemiologic outcomes and other research may be supported as well. The network is funded by the NEI, and co-funded by OS, through NIDDK, with the Special Funding Program for Type 1 Diabetes Research.

Dietary Guidelines for Children 0-2 Years: Exploring the Evidence
|
Meeting/ Workshop

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) are issued jointly every five
years by HHS and USDA but traditionally have focused on Americans ages 2 and above. Specific
recommendations for infants and toddlers have not been addressed since the 1985 edition, although
some general guidance was included in the 1990 DGA. The National Institute for Child Health and
Human Development, the USDA, and ODPHP have developed a project intended to help identify questions
and begin scoping the scientific literature related to dietary (not nutrient) recommendations for
ages 0-2 to build an analytic framework for a systematic evidence based review. Two meetings were held,
one early in the process consisting of members of 4 workgroups to understand the project
and clarify issues (request already submitted). The following workshop, culminated in publication of the workshop
proceedings in a peer reviewed journal.
