The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) gathers information on family life, marriage and divorce, pregnancy, infertility, use of contraception, and men''s and women''s health. The survey results are used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and others to plan health services and education programs, and to do statistical studies of families, fertility, and health.

Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH) is a grant program that provides funds to enhance research, research infrastructure and training among American Indian and Alaska native programs and academic partners. This NIH-wide program supports partnerships between American Indian (AI), Alaska Native (AN), or Tribally-based organizations and institutions that conduct intensive academic-level biomedical, behavioral and health services research in an effort to build a research infrastructure of core components for capacity building and to reduce health disparities in AI/AN communities. This funding mechanism develops opportunities for conducting research, research training and faculty development to meet the needs of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. As a developmental process, Tribes and Tribal Organizations are able to build a research infrastructure, including a core component for capacity building and the possibility of reducing the many health disparities so prevalent in AI/AN communities.

|
NIDDK
|
This project will focus on population-targeted interventions that health systems, communities, and governments can undertake to reduce the incidence of diabetes and its complications. This project will also strengthen the capacity of CDC and NIDDK to conduct vital health services and health policy research related to diabetes prevention and care.

NCI
|
The purpose of this study is to test the stored serum specimens of Air Force Health Study (AFHS) participants for Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and microRNAs using sensitive state-of-the-art laboratory methods. The serum specimens of the AFHS participants who are selected for this study will be retrieved and shipped to NCI. NCI will perform the tests. NIH/NCI will obtain IRB approval of the study protocol and analyze the serum sample to detect and quantify M-protein and expression levels of a panel of microRNAs.

NCI / FDA- Federal Investigator Registry of Biomedical Information Research Data (FIREBIRD)

|
NCI
|
An agreement has been reached by the FDA and the NCI to manage and share information about clinical investigators using the Federal Investigator Registry of Biomedical Information Research Data (FIREBIRD) system. Drug makers are encouraged to also submit information about investigators electronically to the new registry. FIREBIRD is the first module of an expected suite of software programs that will comprise a system called the Clinical Research Information Exchange (CRIX). CRIX is intended to support the biomedical and biopharmaceutical research community by streamlining the document and data exchange process. The resulting reduction of paperwork is expected to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of conducting clinical trials.

The purpose of this MOU is to create a framework to foster scientific and programmatic collaborations. The collaborations envisioned by this MOU involve proteomics science and technology applications such as instrument/technology validation, informatics, biological sample preparation, diagnostics, and discovery and validation of biomarkers for cancer development, therapeutics, and response. This MOU sets forth the basic principles under which the agencies intend to work together to foster partnership in: research and education; the exchange of ideas, information, and data; the development and use of proteomics technologies that may be used by the NCI and other sponsors in clinical applications.
