Federal Supply and Demand of Isotopes Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force FDA NIBIB, NCI 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 fifth workshop was held in November 2016. 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!

Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) Tobacco Control Curriculum Training Meeting/ Workshop CDC NCI 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.
