There is abundant evidence that environmental factors may contribute to a variety of diseases in women, including breast and ovarian cancers, osteoporosis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and autoimmune diseases. Many Federal agencies and offices are working to address these environmental and often preventable threats to women''s health. The DHHS Office on Women''s Health established the Federal Interagency Working Group on Women''s Health and the Environment (FIWGWHE) in 1994 to coordinate and focus Federal action in this area.

The 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.

NCI
|
The FDA National Center for Toxicological Research and the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention, Nutritional Sciences Research Group are collaborating on an Interagency Agreement in which NCI will provide funds to examine the role of epigenetic mechanisms as factors that predetermine individual susceptibility to development of hepatocellular carcinoma and to provide evidence that epigenetic alterations may be used as markers of susceptibility to disease development and correction of those epigenetic abnormalities during hepatocarcinogenesis may be a crucial decisive factor in cancer prevention strategies.

The database provides statistical estimates—based on chemical analysis—of the nutrient content of selected ingredients in dietary supplements, compared with label-reported ingredient levels. Currently the DSID provides estimated levels of 18 vitamin and mineral ingredients derived from analytical data for 115 representative unspecified adult multivitamin/multimineral supplements (MVMs). Additional dietary supplement ingredients will be included in future releases of the database.
