NCI
|
EMBLEM provides a unique infrastructure to obtain valuable data and samples to study Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) epidemiology. Study data will help characterize or investigate: 1. The association of malaria-resistance genes with endemic BL. 2. Host genetic polymorphisms associated with BL using genome-wide association methods. 3. The role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genetic variants in endemic BL. 4. The role of malaria immunology and phenotype of inflammation in BL. 5. The complexity of coinfection with different P. falciparum malaria genotypes in BL. 6. The interaction between helminthic parasites, HIV, malaria, and EBV in BL. 7. The immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology of BL. 8. The impact of malaria, helminthic parasites, and HIV on childhood BL.

The Federal Tuberculosis (TB) Task Force is a coalition composed of the Federal agencies and organizations involved in U.S. TB control efforts. Established in 1991, the Task Force facilitates coordination of activities between Federal agencies. It was created by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to address the outbreaks of multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB occurring during the 1985-1992 surge in TB cases. The TB Task Force is co-chaired by CDC and NIAID.

This subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council''s Committee on Technology is responsible for coordinating the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The NNI was established in 2001 to coordinate federal research and development in nanotechnology by providing a vision of the long-term benefits and opportunities offered by nanotechnology and acting as a locus for communication, cooperation, and collaboration between federal agencies involved in nanotechnology research and development. In 2011, the NSET developed a strategic plan that encompasses a comprehensive nanotechnology R&D initiative built on shared goals, priorities, and strategies that complement agency-specific missions and activities.
