The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is collaborating with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to pilot methods necessary for conducting 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 currently funded project will execute the steps necessary to build the instrument, obtain Office of Management and Budget clearance, and field test all procedures that could inform a larger scale study in the future.

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.

The NSTC Committee on Science (CoS), operated out of OSTP, aims to coordinate all Federal efforts in science by establishing a structure to improve Federal government planning and coordination of R&D and by ensuring that Federal R&D efforts are balanced, integrated, and comprehensive. One of the goals of CoS is to ensure that science is considered in development and implementation of Federal policies and programs. CoS membership includes : USDA, DoC, DoD, ED, HHS, DHS, DOI, DOJ, DOL, State, DoT, Treasury, VA, EPA, NASA, NSF, and the Smithsonian, as well as OSTP and OMB. In addition to the activities of the main committee, CoS oversees about a dozen interagency subcommittees and working groups on topics ranging from the microbiome to research business models. These subgroups often involve staff from other NIH ICs that have the appropriate subject matter expertise.
