Title	Collaboration Type	HHS Participating Agencies	NIH Participating Institutes, Centers, and Offices	Description
Genetics in Environmental and Occupational Diseases	Research Initiative	CDC	NIEHS	These studies evaluate unique cohorts of individuals from professions associated with immune-mediated occupational diseases including asthma, respiratory and contact allergy, chronic beryllium disease, rhinitis, and silicosis. Occupational cohorts are being studied for a number of endpoints including, impact of genetic polymorphisms on inflammatory disease development and clinical outcomes, the role that genetic variations play in environmental and workplace related diseases and identification of unique immunological biomarkers for disease.
Genome in a Bottle Consortium	Resource Development	CDC, FDA	NCI, NHGRI, NLM	The "Genome in a Bottle Consortium" was organized to develop the reference materials, reference data, and reference methods needed to assess performance of human genome sequencing.
Genomic Nursing State of the Science Advisory Panel	Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force	HRSA	NHGRI, NINR	A Genomic Nursing State of the Science Advisory Panel was convened in 2012 to develop the nursing research blueprint. The Advisory Panel, which met via two webinars and two in-person meetings, considered existing evidence from evidence reviews, testimony from key stake- holder groups, presentations from experts in research synthesis, and public comment.
Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth)	Other	CDC	FIC, NIEHS	FIC, in collaboration with NIEHS and NIOSH/CDC, launched this program in order to support the development of leading institutions in the developing world that serve as regional hubs for collaborative research, data management, training, curriculum development and policy support in environmental and occupational health. The goal of the program is to catalyze a multi-national network of regional GEOHealth Hubs that are the lead resources for environmental and occupational health, attract and retain the best talent in the region, and provide the scientific evidence for policy formulation.
Global Health Security Advisory Group (GHSAG)	Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force	CDC, OS	OD/OSP, NIAID, NINDS	The Global Health Security Advisory Group (GHSAG) is a committee composed of high level representatives of the national health authorities for the G-8 block of countries. The GHSAG was formed to develop and implement concrete actions to improve global health security and serve as a network for rapid response to biological, chemical, radio-nuclear terrorism (CBRN) crises.
Global Strategic Plan to Prevent Harms Associated with Alcohol Misuse	Meeting/ Workshop	CDC, SAMHSA	NIAAA	NIAAA represented HHS at the World Health Organization coordinating with officials at CDC and SAMHSA to review Global Strategies to Prevent Harms Associated with Alcohol Misuse.
Go4Life	Public Education Campaign	ACL, AHRQ, CDC, OS, OSG	NIA, NCCAM, NEI, NHLBI, NIAMS, NIDDK, NIMH, NINDS	Go4Life, is an exercise and physical activity campaign from the National Institute on Aging at NIH, and is designed to help individuals fit exercise and physical activity into their daily life. Motivating older adults to become physically active for the first time, return to exercise after a break in their routines, or build more exercise and physical activity into weekly routines are the essential elements of Go4Life. Go4Life offers exercises, motivational tips, and free resources to help individuals get ready, start exercising, and keep going. The Go4Life campaign includes an evidence-based exercise guide in both English and Spanish, an exercise video, an interactive website, and a national outreach campaign.
Guidelines for Prevention of Mother to Child HIV Transmission; Guidelines for Pediatric Antiretroviral Treatment; Guidelines for Adult Antiretroviral Treatment; Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in Adults	Other	CDC, FDA, HRSA	NICHD, NIAID	These are separate Working Groups for development of U.S. guidelines related to HIV infection and its treatment. These Working Groups are composed of external experts in the various areas covered as well as federal agency representatives, including CDC, HRSA, and FDA.
Guidelines for Prevention of perinatal group B streptococcal disease-neonatal evaluation	Research Initiative	CDC	NICHD	This IAA requires the technical assistance of the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) Neonatal Research network for current guidelines for prevention of group B streptococcal disease call for a limited neonatal evaluation including blood culture at birth and initiation of empiric antibiotic therapy for all newborns born to mothers with chorioamnionitist.
Harmonization of soluble transferrin receptor (STIR) measurements	Research Initiative	CDC	NICHD	This IAA is intended to conduct activities that will harmonize assays measuring soluble transferrin receptor (STfR), an important indicator to assess the global burden of iron deficiency in children and women of childbearing age. The goal of the harmonization process is to generate comparable data across multiple laboratories using currently available methodologies for measuring soluble transferrin receptor (STIR).
