From 1963 to 1985, the National Hormone and Pituitary Program (NHPP), funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), sent Human Growth Hormone (HGH) made from human pituitary glands to hundreds of doctors across the country. As a part of research studies, doctors used the hormone to treat nearly 7,700 children for failure to grow. In 1985, the HHS learned that three people treated with pituitary HGH died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare, incurable brain disease. The HHS immediately stopped distributing the hormone and began a national study to learn more about how pituitary HGH treatment may have caused this problem.

NIMH

In 2014, the White House and the Office of Management and Budget created a Cross Agency Priority Goal to improve mental health outcomes for Service Members, Veterans, and their families. The Domestic Policy Council, National Security Council, and Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA), Defense (DoD), and Health and Human Services (HHS) led and synchronized activities across agencies to improve access to care and support research. NIH, VA, and DoD are supporting research that will standardize and integrate measurements for traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicide prevention research funded by the agencies. Building on the foundation of common data elements for PTSD and suicide prevention research, efforts are underway to accelerate progress through data sharing, data harmonization, and the reporting of research results. The workgroup is tasked to develop and test suicide risk assessments and suicide prevention and treatment interventions for Service Members and Veterans. The agencies meet weekly and report quarterly on progress.

NIA has an Inter-Agency Agreement (IAA) to assist grantees with accessing Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data. It is anticipated that this initiative will create a more user friendly and more cost efficient means for grantees to access CMS data especially the need to access Part D data. Specifically, this agrement gives CMS''s Privacy Board justification to release Part D data to NIA grantees with Data Use Agreements. Researchers pay for data use. This includes activities for remote access data enclave.
