The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) is an initiative of the National Institutes of Health, designed to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by kidney disease and its complications. NKDEP aims to improve early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD), facilitate identification of patients at greatest risk for progression to kidney failure, promote evidence-based interventions to slow progression of CKD, and support the coordination of Federal responses to CKD.

NIMH is collaborating with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to develop a cross-sectional national mental health study designed to (1) estimate the prevalence of a number of specific mental disorders, (2) investigate disorder correlates and patterns of care, and (3) provide a platform for follow-up studies on subgroups of interest. The initial, currently funded, project will execute the steps necessary to build the instrument, obtain Office of Management and Budget clearance, and field test all procedures prior to launching the main study.

NSABB is a Federal Advisory Committee established in 2004 to provide advice to the USG and leadership on biosecurity and issues related to dual use research. The NSABB is an influential committee and its reports and recommendations have shaped policy development. The NSABB also undertakes domestic and international outreach and education efforts to raise awareness of issues related to biosecurity. Currently the NSABB is part of a White House-initiated deliberative process to evaluate the risks and benefits associated with certain studies that could generate pathogens with pandemic potential.
