The purpose of this collaboration is to inform the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Nation on the status of key measures of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and sleep health, such as blood pressure, serum lipid levels, risk factors for disease, airway flow limitation, reports of efforts to control weight, and reports of sleep disturbances, and disease prevalence in the US civilian population. NIH identifies key cost-effective basic measures for these conditions and behaviors, relevant to its mission and amenable to being utilized in a mobile hospital setting. NIH staff work with National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) staff to implement the most cost-effective of the measures, to monitor and help manage the survey in progress, and to evaluate and publish the resulting data.

This collaborative project developed and implemented an allergy/asthma focused component for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The allergy component, included in NHANES 2005-2006, enabled a more robust and generalizable investigation of the role of allergen/endotoxin exposures and IgE-mediated sensitization in allergic diseases than previously possible, increasing the knowledge of complex relationships between allergen and endotoxin exposures, allergic sensitization and allergic diseases, including asthma. This survey component queried on allergy and asthma prevalence and symptoms, measured levels of common indoor allergens and endotoxin in household dust, and quantified total and 19 allergen-specific immunoglobulin E levels in serum of study participants.

The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) is an initiative of the NIH National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. 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 NKDEP Health Information Technology (HIT) Working Group is collaborating with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology on a CKD Care Plan, the CKD-related elements that should be included in a comprehensive electronic care plan template. The template elements will enable patients and clinicians to access, create, record, change, and receive key patient information and goals across multiple conditions. The HIT Working Group also held a workshop on "Using Health IT to Identify and Manage CKD Populations: Efforts of the NKDEP Health IT Working Groups" in 2017.
