The Interagency Task Force on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC Task Force) was established on October 13th, 2018, with the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-271). The TIC Task Force is charged with identifying, evaluating, and making recommendations regarding: (1) best practices with respect to children and youth, and their families as appropriate, who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing trauma; and (2) ways in which federal agencies can better coordinate to improve the federal response to families impacted by substance use disorders and other forms of trauma.

|
NIA, NCI, NHLBI, NIBIB, NINDS, NINR
|
The purpose of this Trans-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Inter-Agency group is to develop new platforms for everyday life technology that will enhance the common goals of multiple NIH institutes and other federal government agencies by improving the capability to rapidly conduct peer-reviewed technology research to facilitate aging in place, with a special emphasis on people from underrepresented groups. A platform is a group of technologies that are used as a base upon which other applications, processes or technologies are developed.

Interagency Working Group (IWG) on Communicating Hazard Information and Other Types of Uncertainty, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Subcommittee on Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS)
|
Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force
|
FDA
|
NIMHD, OD/DPCPSI/OBSSR, NCI, NINR, NCATS
|
The primary goal of the SBS is to focus on the ways in which social and behavioral research can be created and mobilized to support the U.S. government in making evidence-based decisions. This subgroup of the SBS aims to increase USG;s effective and equitable communication of hazard information and various types of uncertainty in a variety of domains to the American public. It may explore topics including health communication (e.g., regarding COVID-19 and other public health crises), environmental hazard communication, and climate crisis communication, among others. It will emphasize how approaches informed by social and behavioral sciences can increase the likelihood that diverse subpopulations of the U.S. public will receive the information they need in ways that enable responses consistent with individuals; overall health and well-being, no matter where they live or how they identify.

The working group will identify the diverse types of biological and clinical data, define specific needs and best practices for storing, managing, curating, archiving, and maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of these data, and define agency roles and responsibilities for addressing research and policy (exclusive of regulatory) priority gaps to enable data sharing. The working group will develop a road map to enable robust sharing and maximize reuse of data, identifying opportunities for interagency coordination, and academic, industrial, and international partnerships.

Interagency Working Group on Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act (IWG-HABHRCA)
|
Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force
|
FDA, CDC

|
Harmful algal bloom (HAB) and hypoxia (severe oxygen depletion) events are scientifically complex and economically damaging. They challenge our ability to safeguard the health of our nation’s coastal, Great Lakes, and freshwater ecosystems. Nearly every state experiences some type of hypoxia or HAB event. Federal agencies are working together to advance the understanding of HAB and hypoxia events, and respond to, detect, predict, control, and mitigate these events to the greatest extent possible, as mandated by the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Amendments Act of 2014 (HABHRCA).

The Interagency Working Group on Scientific Collections (IWGSC) was established by the White House National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in June 2006. IWGSC currently operates as a subcommittee under the Committee on Science and Technology Enterprise. IWGSC is co-chaired by U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Smithsonian and originally reported to the NSTC Committee on Science. IWGSC's mission was to assess the status and needs of the scientific collections owned, managed, and/or supported by the U.S. Federal Government, and to recommend ways to improve their management, effectiveness and impact. The IWGSC is currently implementing the three recommendations which: Formalize each Department's and Agency's policies toward scientific collections; Establish appropriate budgeting guidelines and procedures that ensure proper stewardship for scientific collections, which are considered government assets; and Create a public clearinghouse for information on the scientific collections that are owned, managed and supported by the Federal Government.

Interdepartmental Serious Mental Illness Coordinating Committee (ISMICC)

Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force

NIMH
|
In December 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act was signed into law (Public Law 114-255). Through this Act, the Interdepartmental Serious Mental Illness Coordinating Committee (ISMICC) was established to address the needs of adults with serious mental illness (SMI) and children and youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and their families so that Americans with SMI and SED are able to improve their lives and receive the highest possible standard of care-care that is deeply informed by knowledge of science and medicine. The ISMICC includes representatives from eight federal departments that support programs that address the needs of people with SMI and SED and is informed and strengthened by the participation of non-federal members, including national experts on health care research, mental health providers, advocates, people with living with mental health conditions, and their families and caregivers. This cross-sector, public-private partnership provides a unique opportunity to share and generate solutions to the problems facing the mental health system. The ISMICC seeks to support a system where individuals with SMI or SED are able to engage effectively with a range of treatment and recovery support services that promote opportunities for people to live well in their communities. A central charge of this committee is to submit two reports to Congress, the first no later than one year after the enactment of the Act, and the second five years following enactment. The ISMICC has five priority areas and corresponding workgroups for these priority areas. Representatives from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) sit on each of these workgroups.
