The purpose of IMAG is to bring together program staff who have a shared interest in supporting modeling and analysis methods in biomedical, biological, and behavioral systems. Since 2003, IMAG has promoted and supported a wide variety of modeling, notably multi-scale modeling (MSM) through agency-specific funding opportunity announcements. IMAG and the MSM Consortium is active through monthly IMAG meetings, MSM Steering Committee meetings and individual working group and special interest group activities (see activities on the IMAG wiki). IMAG is now co-chaired with program staff from NIBIB, NCCIH and NIAID. In 2022, IMAG and the MSM updated its Mission statement (see 2023 Mission Statement). TheMultiscale Modeling and Viral Pandemics working group celebrated its second anniversary, published several publications, including a book, and continues to hold weekly recorded webinars with participants from several IMAG agencies, including NIH, CDC, FDA, NSF and DOD and the associated extramural communities. Additionally in 2022, IMAG and the MSM began planning its return to in-person (hybrid) Consortium meeting for June 2023 on the NIH Campus.
Interagency Morphine Milligram Equivalent (MME) Workgroup Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force FDA, CDC NIDA The Interagency Morphine Milligram Equivalent (MME) Workgroup is a transagency workgroup that was established in 2022 to identify research priorities and set recommendations around MME calculations for research and clinical practice.
Interagency Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Working Group Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CDC NINDS, NIAID The Interagency ME/CFS Working Group consists of multiple government agencies and patient ME/CFS patient advocacy organizations interested in research and care issues related to ME/CFS. The working group was established to help coordinate ME/CFS-related efforts across the federal agencies to enhance research efforts, improve treatment options and patient outcomes, promote public outreach, and strengthen workforce development. The working group, which is co-led by NINDS and CDC, met for the first time in August 2020, and will continue to meet regularly to provide updates, discuss issues relevant to ME/CFS research, and identify and foster communication and collaboration across the federal agencies and with ME/CFS stakeholders.
Interagency Oncology Task Force Fellowship: Track 4 Training Initiative FDA NCI This fellowship will provide training in cancer prevention (e.g., chemoprevention, vaccination, and early detection). Individuals will be trained in the drug, biologic, or device development and approval processes and their application to study populations (including healthy subjects) to facilitate the movement of novel approaches from the bench to the community. Combining training in public health, cancer prevention research, and research-related regulatory overview will allow individuals to develop expertise across these disciplines.
Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee (IPRCC) Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CDC, AHRQ, FDA, SAMHSA NIA, NINDS The Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee (IPRCC) is a Federal advisory committee created by the Department of Health and Human Services to enhance pain research efforts and promote collaboration across the government, with the ultimate goals of advancing the fundamental understanding of pain and improving pain-related treatment strategies.
Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee (IPRCC) Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force AHRQ, CDC, FDA NINDS, NCCIH, NIDA, NIDCR, NINR The Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee is an Affordable Care Act-mandated committee to coordinate pain research activities across the government.
Interagency Pediatric Surge Working Group Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force NIH, CDC, HRSA, ASPR NICHD The interagency working group meets weekly to discuss pressing surges and opportunities as it relates to addressing pediatric healthcare capacity, delivery and science.

Interagency Rehabilitation and Disability Research Portfolio (IRAD) Resource Development ACL, CDC NICHD IRAD is a searchable database of government funded research projects in the areas of disability, independent living and rehabilitation research. The purpose of IRAD is to provide a publicly available resource that enables analysis of the federal research portfolio in disability, independent living, and rehabilitation research. This will aid in collaboration and coordination of research activities across federal agencies, as well as increase transparency and visibility for the public and legislative stakeholders.
Interagency Select Agent Review Group (ISARG) Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CDC, OS NIAID, OD/OM/OB, OD/OSP The Interagency Select Agent Review Group (ISARG), composed of members from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director (NIH-OD) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), advises the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) on whether facilities and procedures at NIAID-funded foreign research sites are comparable to those required by the Select Agent Regulations for domestic institutions before Select Agent work at the foreign site may proceed.
