The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is working with the National Institute for General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) on a project to use a previously developed mathematical model to determine the best use of a limited supply of H7N9 influenza vaccine. The model is currently being used with H5N1 clinical vaccination data. Once the H7N9 clinical data are available, NIAID will transmit the de-identified datasets for analyses with this model.

The Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee and Nanotechnology Environmental, and Health Implications (NEHI) Working Group provide leadership in establishing the national nanotechnology environmental, health, and safety research agenda and in communicating data and information related to environmental and health aspects of nanotechnology between National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) agencies and with the public. NNI activities support the development of new tools and methods required for the research that will enable risk analysis and assist in regulatory decision-making. NNI agencies engage and interact with regional, state, and local groups, educational institutions, industry-supported groups, and non-governmental organizations to enhance the impact and value of NNI efforts and to provide a collaborative approach.

NLM''s Unified Medical Language System (UMLS®) facilitates the development of computer systems that behave as if they understand the meaning of the language of biomedicine and health. To that end, NLM produces and distributes the UMLS Knowledge Sources (databases) and associated software tools (programs) for use by system developers in building or enhancing electronic information systems that create, process, retrieve, integrate, and/or aggregate biomedical and health data and information, as well as in informatics research. By design, the UMLS Knowledge Sources are multi-purpose.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides an online repository of value sets (code sets from standardized medical vocabularies) that are used for clinical quality measurement in the CMS EHR Incentive Program (meaningful use). The Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) provides downloadable access to all official versions of vocabulary value sets contained in the 2014 Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs). Each value set consists of the numerical values (codes) and human-readable names (terms), drawn from standard vocabularies such as SNOMED CT® , RxNorm, LOINC and ICD-10-CM, which are used to define clinical concepts used in clinical quality measures (e.g., patients with diabetes, clinical visit).
