The Focus on Aging: Federal Partners' Webinar Series addresses important topics for public health and health care professionals, aging services organizations, the research community, and other stakeholders in aging. The series is a joint project of four of the federal agencies that support the health and wellness of older adults in the U.S.: the Administration for Community Living, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the National Institute on Aging. Each webinar includes information specific to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia, as well as their caregivers.

The Partnership for Accelerating Cancer Therapies (PACT) is a five-year public-private research collaboration totaling $215 million launched by the National Institutes of Health, the FNIH (Foundation for the NIH) and 11 leading pharmaceutical companies as part of the Cancer Moonshot. PACT will initially focus on efforts to identify, develop and validate robust biomarkers — standardized biological markers of disease and treatment response — to advance new immunotherapy treatments that harness the immune system to attack cancer. The partnership will be managed by the FNIH, with the Food and Drug Administration serving in an advisory role.

#VALUE!
|
The Funding Opportunity Announcement Module (FOAM) allows National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes and Centers and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Operating Divisions to develop content for and perform the needed approvals to publish funding opportunity announcements. The system has a flexible configuration to meet all of the needs for HHS Operating Divisions. In addition FOAM serves as a Federal Shared Service in collaboration with Grant Solutions supporting other agencies including Department of the Interior, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Homeland Security. FOAM achieves economies of scale by preventing the need for individual agencies to develop duplicate systems at a cost much greater than that of developing a unified system.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Gabriella Miller Kids First Common Fund Working Group supports the goals and initiatives of the NIH Gabriella Miller Kids First Common Fund Pediatric Research Program (Kids First). Kids First is developing a data resource for the pediatric research community of well-curated clinical and genetic sequence data that will allow scientists to identify genetic pathways that underlie specific pediatric conditions but that may also be shared between apparently disparate conditions. A representative from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) participates in the Kids First Working Group.

The "Genome in a Bottle Consortium" was organized to develop the reference materials, reference data, and reference methods needed to assess performance of human genome sequencing. It is a public-private-academic consortium hosted by NIST to develop the technical infrastructure (reference standards, reference methods, and reference data) to enable translation of whole human genome sequencing to clinical practice and innovations in technologies. The priority of GIAB is authoritative characterization of human genomes for use in benchmarking, including analytical validation and technology development, optimization, and demonstration.

|
The goal of this project is to identify zoonotic influenza A viruses (IAV) that are capable of transmitting from swine to humans, causing illness and potentially igniting a global pandemic. IAVs are collected from pigs attending US agricultural fairs and genome sequenced, either in real-time using nanopore sequencing technology or later at a CEIRS network lab. Viruses collected from humans that appear to be of swine origin are also sequenced and compared to the swine viruses. Phylogenetic analysis is performed to understand how viruses from agricultural fairs in different US states are genetically related and how the virus moves between events. Serological studies are performed in youth exhibitors attending the fair to determine exposure histories.

The GeT-RM Coordination Program is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) project for establishing a community process to create reference materials, quality control measures, and proficiency testing for genetic testing. The GeT-RM Browser is provided by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to facilitate access to the data generated by this project, which is intended to aid evaluation of the analytical validity of next-generation sequencing assays.
