NIH/BMGF Collaboration - Point of Care Testing Working Group Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CMS, FDA NIBIB, NCI, NIAID, NICHD The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) co-chairs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Working Group on Point of Care (POC) Diagnostics. This group of government and private partners is working to identify and collaborate on projects to develop diagnostic tests for low resource areas. One area of focus is to leverage resources for the development of a rapid POC diagnostic test for viral infections such as HIV or influenza. NIBIB hosted a working group session on March 30, 2017, that focused on patient access to health diagnostics. Ideas from this session were presented at the larger NIH-BMGF meeting on June 30, 2017, hosted by NIH.
Northwest Portland Tribal Registry Project Resource Development IHS NCI Over the past 10 years, health care delivery for Northwest American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) has evolved from a centralized system maintained by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to a diverse and complex environment. The Northwest Tribal Registry Project was developed in January 1999 by the Northwest Tribal Epidemiology Center, a tribally operated program located at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) in Portland, Oregon. The Project works with state health organizations to correct racial misclassification for AI/AN in disease registries, obtain accurate estimates of the cancer burden, and to generate health status information for tribes and health programs. NCI contributes funding to the IHS for this project through the Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) program.
