|
Observational studies based, in part, on available Centers for Medical and Medicare Services (CMS) data could generate important knowledge and policy relevant findings. NIH and CMS established a Data Access Committee to identify and pursue short and long term research priorities. Current initiatives include: implementation of an Inter-Agency Agreement wherein NIH directly purchases blanket access to CMS data from CMS, instead of paying grantees to access these data individually (which incurs high indirect cost rates for NIH); and convening quarterly meetings of the CMS-NIH Data Access Committee to discuss data policy and access issues. Future meetings may include presentations by NIH-funded investigators and in-house CMS data analyses.

Characterize Emerging HIV Strains from Blood Donors and Patients
|
Resource Development
|
FDA
|
NIAID
|
This initiative will characterize emerging HIV strains from blood donors and patients to determine viral tropism based on co-receptor usage strains. It will update the global viral panels to analyze multiple, diverse isolates from different parts of the world. This activity is part of NIAID’s ongoing efforts to develop a well-characterized repository for diagnostics, and drug and vaccine studies.

Chemical Integrated Program Team (IPT)
|
Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force
|
CDC, FDA, OS
|
NICHD
|
This workgroup is a Public Health Energy Enterprise. The Chemical Integrated Program Team (IPT) working group provides an end-to-end vision of medical countermeasures needed for a particular threat type (e.g., anthrax, radiation/nuclear, etc.). The scope of their work includes setting requirements for the stockpiling of Medical Countermeasures (MCMs), MCM delivery, and dispensing and monitoring MCM development. The IPTs also advise the Enterprise Executive Committee as to threat- or capability-specific MCM priorities for improving preparedness, to inform leadership consideration of cross-threat prioritizations and strategic goal setting.

|
The Subject Matter Advisory Resource Team (SMART) works to conduct analysis of response issues or problems in an unencumbered, academic environment to triage potential issues out or provide decision support when indicated. Participation is generally limited to facilitate rapid analysis and fluid discussion. Depending on the natural of any incident (e.g. Chem, Bio, Nuke/Rad, etc.), this list will be augmented and subject specific participants may be added or subtracted.
