NCI, OD/OSP
|
This subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Technology is responsible for coordinating the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The NNI was established in 2001 to coordinate federal research and development in nanotechnology by providing a vision of the long-term benefits and opportunities offered by nanotechnology and acting as a locus for communication, cooperation, and collaboration between federal agencies involved in nanotechnology research and development. In 2016, the NSET updated its strategic plan to reflect the fact that nanotechnology is now a broadly enabling technology, not simply an area of research at the nanoscale. The new strategic plan outlines four goals: (1) advance a world-class nanotechnology research and development program, (2) foster the transfer of new technologies into products for commercial and public benefit, (3) develop and sustain educational resources, a skilled workforce, and a dynamic infrastructure and toolset to advance nanotechnology, and (4) support responsible development of nanotechnology.

In April 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-term) Initiative, an aggressive, trans-agency effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis. This Initiative will build on extensive, well-established NIH research, including basic science of the complex neurological pathways involved in pain and addiction, implementation science to develop and test treatment models, and research to integrate behavioral interventions with medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) The NIH HEAL Initiative will bolster research across NIH to improve treatments for opioid misuse and addiction and enhance pain management.

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.
