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 memorandum of understanding (MOU) has ended, the National Institutes of Health (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 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) gathers information on family life, marriage and divorce, pregnancy, infertility, use of contraception, and men’s and women’s health. The survey results are used by the US Department of Health and Human Services and others to plan health services and health education programs and to do statistical studies of families, fertility, and health. The NSFG is used by: scholars in the behavioral sciences (e.g., sociology, demography, and economics) to study marriage, divorce, fertility, and family life; scholars in public health to study reproductive, maternal and infant health topics; agencies of the US Department of Health and Human Services to brief senior officials and to inform program decision-making; in research programs and in health and social service programs; state and local governments to plan health and social service programs; and the press, to prepare articles on a number of topics related to health and family life.
