The Nutrition Research Coordinating Committee (NRCC) was established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director in 1975 to improve communication and research coordination of nutrition activities within the NIH and across the federal government. Today it provides an open forum for members to discuss current and future nutrition research challenges and opportunities. The NRCC has broad representation from the NIH institutes and centers. In addition, liaisons from other federal offices and agencies also participate. The NRCC meets monthly, alternating between intra-NIH and interagency meetings. NRCC membership is open to any federal staff member interested in carrying out any trans-NIH or trans-agency nutrition research efforts. NRCC meetings are chaired by the Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Office of Nutrition Research.

The purpose of this working group is to coordinate the efforts of multiple stakeholders (Department of State, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, private sector) to establish a stable, long-term domestic supply of Mo99 (molybdenum-99) for medical purposes. Such a supply needs to be consistent with current international goals (to which the US is an active participant) of reduction in the use of high-enriched uranium in all reactors, including Mo99 production facilities, as well as full cost recovery solutions. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff attend stakeholders workshops, the last was held in the Spring of 2018.

|
At the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Weinberg is transducing murine keratinocytes with combinations of oncogenes found in human squamous cell carcinomas to determine if they generate transformation and tumors in laboratory conditions. Dr. Van Waes’ laboratory at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) will study how these oncogene-driven tumors in mice deregulate keratinocytes and host immune responses, as well as response to various standard, molecular, and immune therapies.
