The National Toxicology Program (NTP) was established as a department-wide effort within the Public Health Service (PHS) on November 15, 1978. The program is comprised of the relevant PHS activities within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) of the National Institutes of Health. The NIEHS Director serves as NTP Director and reports to the Assistant Secretary for Health. The NTP Executive Committee reviews progress on NTP activities directed toward carrying out its mission.

Native American Research Center for Health 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 National Institutes of Health-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.

The National Cancer Institute National Cancer Informatics Program (NCIP) Nanotechnology Working Group (NCIP Nano WG) was established in 2008 for researchers with a specific interest in informatics and computational approaches to nanotechnology, with a particular emphasis on nanomedicine. The goal of this Working Group is to demonstrate the scientific potential of federating nanotechnology databases through pilot projects aimed at integrated semantic search and retrieval of nanomedicine and nanotoxicology datasets that are applicable across nanoscience. The NCIP Nano WG comprises over 20 active participants from academia, government and industry with diverse interests.

An agreement has been reached by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Cancer Institute to manage and share information about clinical investigators using the Federal Investigator Registry of Biomedical Information Research Data, or 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.
