CC, NCI
|
This collaboration will lead to safer and more effective treatment planning and performance of image-guided interventions and therapeutic drug delivery. The results of all of these studies of image guided interventions and related technologies and the models used to study them will have a direct impact on the effectiveness and consistency of the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health''s (CDRH) preclinical review of device applications while meeting the primary research goal of optimizing image guided interventions and pre-clinical modeling of those interventions. Regulatory science and translational therapeutics have overlapping goals when it comes to drugs + devices combination therapies.

NCCAM
|
In 2008, the USDA Agricultural Service initiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NCCAM to exchange expertise in technology development and partner research initiatives to advance the field of probiotic biology and role in human health. The MOU consists of a five year plan defining common mission goals; expected benefits from the exchange of research expertise and resources; and demonstration projects based on NIH/NCCAM funded U01 cooperative agreements. The long-term goal of the MOU is to develop trans-agency networked initiatives. In 2012, the unique resources of USDA/ARS and the HMP investigators were successfully implemented as a parallel comparative biotechnologies validation and standardization prototype with targeted molecular approaches.

Institute of Medicine (IOM) Youth Concussions Project

CDC

|
This project began from interest among members of the Institute of Medicine (IOM)/National Research Council (NRC) Board on Children, Youth, and Families (BCYF) in developing a new activity focused on the topic of sports concussions in youth. A series of conference calls were held in early March 2010 focused on the health and educational issues associated with concussions/mild brain trauma among school-ages populations. The IOM first wanted to explore the need for a workshop or study that could identify key research findings, examine current policies and programs, and offer informed guidance for clinical practices, sports management, and educational settings. Congressional staff have also expressed interest in encouraging IOM to conduct a research review in this area, comparable to the 2002 IOM workshop on the consequences of head impact in youth soccer. To date: 1) IOM has secured funds for "planning meeting" towards a workshop; 2) IOM invites NICHD to attend a planning for the planning meeting on October 1, 2010; and 3) IOM in interested is securing funds for workshop.
