The Federal Working Group on Dietary Supplements (FWGoDS) is comprised of individuals from federal agencies that share information and discuss issues, initiatives, and research related to dietary supplements. The FWGoDS facilitates communication and collaboration between NIH and its federal partners in several ways: co-funding research investigations within the NIH, expanding opportunities for research-investigator training, and strengthening collaborative efforts involving dietary supplement research, education, and communication. The FWGoDS meets twice a year and serves as a means of communication between the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) and its federal partners.

The goal of this work group is to develop a coordinated view of what the Federal government is undertaking in telehealth, in an effort to identify possible collaboration mechanisms and share lessons learned across multiple agencies. Current topics of emphasis include Telehealth and Health Information Technology (HIT); Technology, Innovation and Standards; Public Education of Telehealth; and Access to Health Care.

Cancer incidence and mortality are rising rapidly worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. There is an overwhelming need for countries to adopt and implement cancer control actions. Yet only 1 in 5 low- and middle-income countries have the necessary data to drive policy and reduce the burden and suffering due to cancer. The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) is a coordinated, multi-partner approach to deliver the required change. It is time to make cancer data count.

The Filovirus Animal Non-Clinical Group (FANG) focuses on the advanced development of Filovirus medical countermeasures (MCM), both vaccines and therapeutics. The FANG focuses on the product development tools and other interagency product development issues relevant to FDA approval of filovirus MCM. A standing interagency working group, the Portfolio Advisory Committee, oversees the FANG. The FANG will develop strategies to address broadly applicable and interagency product development issues relevant to licensure of filovirus MCM. The FANG will develop consensus recommendations to facilitate standardization of reagents, methods, and procedures across multiple agencies and laboratories.

The goal of these HIV research training programs (Fogarty HIV Research Training Program (AITRP) and Fogarty HIV Research Training Program) is to build multi-disciplinary bio-medical, behavioral, and social science research capacity for the prevention, care, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and HIV-related conditions in adults and children in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC). Research training will be provided to scientists at institutions in countries defined by the World Bank criteria as LMIC. In FY15, PEPFAR/CDCCOP funded one supplement to a parent AITRP award in Ukraine through SUNY Medical Center Downstate. Also, research training activities in Uganda continued to be supported in FY 15 through the FY2014 PEPFAR/CDC-COP funded supplement to the Fogarty HIV Research Training award at the University of California, Berkeley.

These studies evaluate unique cohorts of individuals from professions associated with immune-mediated occupational diseases including asthma, respiratory and contact allergy, chronic beryllium disease, rhinitis, and silicosis. Occupational cohorts are being studied for a number of endpoints including the impact of genetic polymorphisms on inflammatory disease development and clinical outcomes, the role that genetic variations play in environmental and workplace related diseases, and the identification of unique immunological biomarkers for disease.
