The Global Ingredient Archival System is a project that aims to provide a common identifier for all of the substances used in medicinal products, utilizing a consistent definition of substances globally, including active substances under clinical investigation, consistent with the ISO 11238 standard. The FDA is utilizing software from this project to meet their obligations under the Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) global regulatory scheme. In 2016, the software was deployed onto FDA internal systems and FDA’s existing data was migrated into their instance (internally called Global Substance Registration Service (GSRS)). A public version of FDA’s substance definitions for use by researchers outside the agency were made available through NCATS’ website for the project.

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.

Go4Life, is an exercise and physical activity campaign from the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and is designed to help individuals fit exercise and physical activity into their daily life. Motivating older adults to become physically active for the first time, return to exercise after a break in their routines, or build more exercise and physical activity into weekly routines are the essential elements of Go4Life. Go4Life offers exercises, motivational tips, and free resources to help individuals get ready, start exercising, and keep going. The Go4Life campaign includes an evidence-based exercise guide in both English and Spanish, an exercise video, an interactive website, and a national outreach campaign.

The goal of this project is to build data infrastructure for conducting patient-centered outcomes research using data derived from the delivery of health care in routine clinical settings. These data are collectively referred to as observational data. The sources of these data may include, but are not limited to insurance billing claims, electronic health records (EHRs), and patient registries. The Common Data Model (CDM) organizes data into a standard structure, which may differ across networks. This project intends to harmonize several existing CDMs in order to support research and analyses across multiple data networks. The aim is to advance the utility of data and its interoperability across networks to facilitate patient-centered outcomes research. The enhanced data infrastructure created through this project will have the capacity to support evidence generation on patient-centered outcomes that can inform regulatory and clinical decision making within federal programs.

The Health Economics program aims to support theoretical and applied research to understand how innovations in treatments, diagnosis, and preventive strategies can be most effectively deployed to improve health and wellbeing. Research supported by this program will identify factors determining optimal adoption of highly effective health technologies, innovations, and discoveries, so that past and future investments by NIH may have greater public health impact. The Health Economics program is collaborating with AHRQ and CMS to discuss ongoing efforts in this area of research.

Health care systems are playing an increasingly prominent role in biomedical research. Increased adoption of health information technologies as well as imaging and genomics technologies are not only changing how care is delivered, but also providing opportunities for developing personalized medicine approaches to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. These changes provide the potential to conduct research studies in real-world settings, on large numbers of participants, and enable studies that could not be addressed previously. This workshop aimed to identify key opportunities and strategies that will enable the NIH and health care systems to advance our mutual research priorities and to ultimately benefit the health of women, children, and people with disabilities and included leaders from health care systems, academic investigators, as well as government and policy representatives.
