The Household Air Pollution Investigation Network (HAPIN) is a large National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative designed to tackle the challenge of reducing the burden of disease from household air pollution (HAP). Within HAPIN, an Implementation Science Network (ISN) was formed to advance the science of uptake and scale-up of clean cooking technology in the developing world. The ISN steering committee is composed of HAP experts from across NIH and various government and non-government agencies.

The Global Ingredient Archival System is a project that aims to provide a common identifier for all of the substances used in medicinal products, utilizing a consistent definition of substances globally, including active substances under clinical investigation, consistent with the ISO 11238 standard. The FDA is utilizing software from this project to meet their obligations under the Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) global regulatory scheme. In 2016, the software was deployed onto FDA internal systems and FDA’s existing data was migrated into their instance (internally called Global Substance Registration Service (GSRS)). A public version of FDA’s substance definitions for use by researchers outside the agency was made available through NCATS’ website for the project.

Cancer incidence and mortality are rising rapidly worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. There is an overwhelming need for countries to adopt and implement cancer control actions. Yet only one in five low- and middle-income countries have the necessary data to drive policy and reduce the burden and suffering due to cancer. The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) is a coordinated, multi-partner approach to deliver the required change. Its objective is to make cancer data count. NCI partners with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide technical and financial support to the Caribbean Hub of GICR.

The goal of this project is to build data infrastructure for conducting patient-centered outcomes research using data derived from the delivery of health care in routine clinical settings. These data are collectively referred to as observational data. The sources of these data may include, but are not limited to insurance billing claims, electronic health records (EHRs), and patient registries. The Common Data Model (CDM) organizes data into a standard structure, which may differ across networks. This project intends to harmonize several existing CDMs in order to support research and analyses across multiple data networks. The aim is to advance the utility of data and its interoperability across networks to facilitate patient-centered outcomes research. The enhanced data infrastructure created through this project will have the capacity to support evidence generation on patient-centered outcomes that can inform regulatory and clinical decision making within federal programs.

The Health Care Systems (HCS) Research Collaboratory program is strengthening the national capacity to implement cost-effective large-scale research studies that engage health care delivery organizations as research partners. The studies funded through this program, referred to as pragmatic clinical trials, engage medical centers across the country in addressing a wide range of pressing public health concerns. The HCS Collaboratory works with representatives from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in order to bring expertise from across HHS to bear on the implementation of these complex pragmatic clinical trials.
