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.

The National Institute of Mental Health (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.

Although the National Robotics Initiative MOU has ended, NIH continues to engage and participate with colleagues in other agencies to promote this work. The robotics group engages program officers across NIH and other agencies with an interest in promoting robotics to address health needs. Discussions address topics related to planning trans-NIH initiatives, co-funding grants and contracts, and participating in joint site visits to mutually funded investigators. This working group is also linked to the efforts of the National Robotics Initiative that held a Principal Investigators meeting in November 2016.
