Title Collaboration Type HHS Participating Agencies NIH Participating Institutes, Centers, and Offices Description
NIMH-SAMHSA collaboration to support the delivery of evidence based practices in Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic-Expansion (CCBHC-E) awardees Research Initiative SAMHSA NIMH The goal of this collaboration is to identify mutual National Institute of Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration priority areas of interest and to develop relevant funding initiatives that will invest in mental health services and implementation science research to support the adoption and sustained fidelity of evidence-based practices in Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic-Expansion awardees.
NINDS Common Data Elements Program Resource Development CDC, FDA NINDS, CIT, NICHD, NEI, NHGRI, NCATS, NIA, NIMH, NIEHS, NIGMS, NIBIB, NIDDK, NIDCR, NINR, NHLBI NINDS works closely with the research community (academia and industry), patient advocates, and other federal agencies to develop and maintain data standards called common data elements (CDEs). Data standards facilitate data collection and data sharing in clinical research. Through the efforts of several working groups, CDEs have been developed for use in adult and pediatric research studies of many neurological disorders, including ALS, cerebral palsy, Chiari I malformation, epilepsy, Friedreich’s ataxia, headache, Huntington’s disease, mitochondrial disease, multiple sclerosis, ME/CFS, several neuromuscular diseases, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, stroke, and TBI.
Non-animal approaches to assess cardiotoxicity hazard Research Initiative FDA NIEHS This project aims to identify and develop human cell- and protein-based assays, as well as in silico QSAR models, to more efficiently screen drugs and chemicals for their potential to be toxic to the heart or circulatory system
Northwest Portland Tribal Registry Project Resource Development IHS NCI Over the past 12 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.
Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Priority Research Opportunities in Crisis Response Services Research Initiative SAMHSA NIMH The National Institute of Mental Health collaborated with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to develop a Notice of Special Interest that communicates priority research opportunities in crisis response services. This includes research on 1) treatment and services interventions; 2) triage, dispatch, and other forms of decision support; and 3) strategies to promote service engagement/continuity and quality of care.;;
NSTC Subcommitee on Open Science (NSTC SOS) Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force AHRQ, ASPR, CDC, FDA OD/DPCPSI/ODSS The NSTC Subcommitee on Open Science advances cross-agency efforts in open science. ;The newly established NSTC SOS Open Science Infrastructure Subgroup will develop a coordinated, cross-agency approach to implementing digital infrastructure that supports and enables open science. ;;The original group was formed under Obama Administration, but it became a sub committee under the Trump Administration.
NSTC Subcommittee on Biological Defense Research and Development - Interagency Bioconvergence Working Group Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force OS OD/OSP The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Health Security Threats Bioconvergence Strategic Objective is focused on gaining insight about areas of opportunity and areas of risk for biodefense arising from the convergence of the most recent advances in biosciences with leading edge discoveries in other areas of physical, computational, and life sciences research. The co-leads of the group are Cindy Bruckner-Lea and Ashley Predith at the Department of Energy.;
NSTC Subcommittee on Biological Sciences Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CDC, FDA, OS OD/OSP Advises and assists the Committee on Science and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) on Federal policies, procedures and plans in the biological sciences; also explore ways in which the Federal government can increase the overall effectiveness and productivity of its investment in biological sciences research, especially regarding issues that cut across agency boundaries.
NSTC Subcommittee on Biological Sciences -Interagency Synthetic Biology Working Group (BSSC-SBWG) Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CDC OD/OSP, NIBIB Provides coordination and strategic planning to help ensure responsible innovation and significant advances in research in synthetic biology.
Nutrition Sub-Interagency Policy Council Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force FDA, CMS, IOS, OASH OD/DPCPSI/ONR This group which is run by the Domestic Policy Council (DPC) at the White House is charged with organizing the second White House Conference on Food, Hunger, and Health.
