Beginning in 2011, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has convened a Federal Interagency Task Force on the Arts and Human Development to encourage more and better research on how the arts can help people reach their full potential at all stages of life. Task force members represent multiple units across federal government, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Education, among others. To date, the Task Force has met quarterly to share ideas and information about research gaps and opportunities for understanding the arts'' role in improving health and educational outcomes throughout the lifespan. The Task Force has conducted a series of public webinars on compelling research and practices. Additionally, the group has begun a literature review of research on the arts and human development. In November 2012, four Task Force member agencies hosted a first-ever convening at the National Academy of Sciences to review the current state of research on the arts, health, and well-being in older Americans.

The charge of the Interagency Committee includes promoting collaboration among federal agencies. A goal of this committee is to develop a national “Roadmap” for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). This strategic planning effort will represent the collective expertise of providers, educators, advocates, federal/state/national organizations, and individuals with TBI and their families and will result in a consensus document outlining the critical elements of a successful system of care for TBI service delivery.

The group will: work collaboratively to promote dissemination, implementation, and evaluation of promising scientific findings; translate evidence-based interventions to inform policy and improve practice; strengthen the capacity of each respective agency to enhance the health, well-being, and independence of older adults and people with disabilities across the life span, and in various environments. Areas of interest include topics such as: health and wellness; new models of care; community living and participation; and caregiving.

Federal Supply and Demand of Isotopes

This workgroup was formed as follow-up to the Inaugural Workshop on Isotope Federal Supply and Demand, a workshop now held annually. The workgroup consists of representatives of Federal agencies with the aim of providing a forum for interaction between agencies and departments to communicate about potential shortages of isotopes that are of strategic importance to the nation including the availability of medical isotopes. DOE is charged with the production of isotopes that are not commercially available, and coordinates the informational and production efforts. Dr. Roderic Pettigrew, Director of NIBIB is the NIH point of contact on this topic. The workgroup holds an annual workshop that includes all Federal agencies that use isotopes; the workshop promotes discussion on the use, supply and demand of isotopes in various areas including homeland defense, medicine, agriculture, and basic and applied research. The fourth workshop was held in November 2015. A NIH representative participated as a panel member at a congressional briefing on this topic in December 2014. The event was co-sponsored by the American Chemical Society and Research America!
