Title Collaboration Type HHS Participating Agencies NIH Participating Institutes, Centers, and Offices Description
National Robotics Initiative (NRI) Research Initiative CDC NIBIB, NCATS, NEI, NIA, NINR, NICHD The National Robotics Initiative 3.0: Innovations in Integration of Robotics (NRI-3.0) program was launched by NSF in February of 2021. It builds upon the preceding National Robotics Initiative (NRI) programs to support fundamental research in the United States that will advance the science of robot integration. The program supports research that promotes integration of robots to the benefit of humans including human safety and human independence. The National Institute of Health (NIH) has joined NRI 3.0 to promote robotics to address health needs. The first round of funding occurred if FY 2022.
National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CDC, FDA, OS OD/OSP, NIAID The NSABB is a federal advisory committee that addresses issues related to biosecurity and dual use research at the request of the United States Government.
National Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Strategic Plan Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force OASH, ACF, ACL, CDC, CMS, FDA, HRSA, IHS, SAMHSA NIAID Plan sets national goals, objectives, and strategies to respond to the STI epidemic. The plan will serve as a roadmap to help federal and non-federal stakeholders at all levels and in all sectors reverse the sharp upward trends in STI rates
National Survey of Family Growth Health Survey ACF, CDC NICHD The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) gathers information on family life, marriage and divorce, pregnancy, infertility, use of contraception, and men's and women's health. The survey results are used by the US Department of Health and Human Services and others to plan health services and health education programs and to do statistical studies of families, fertility, and health. The NSFG is used by: scholars in the behavioral sciences (e.g., sociology, demography, and economics) to study marriage, divorce, fertility, and family life; scholars in public health to study reproductive, maternal and infant health topics; agencies of the US Department of Health and Human Services to brief senior officials and to inform program decision-making; in research programs and in health and social service programs; state and local governments to plan health and social service programs; and the press, to prepare articles on a number of topics related to health and family life.
National Toxicology Board of Scientific Counselors (NTP BSC) Meeting/ Workshop CDC, FDA NIEHS A federally chartered external advisory committee whose members are appointed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services
National Toxicology Program Executive Committee (NTP EC) Meeting/ Workshop ATSDR, CDC, FDA, OASH NIEHS An internal government group comprised of heads (or designees) of HHS (NCEH/ATSDR, FDA, NCI, NIEHS, NIOSH) and non-HHS (CPSC, DoD, EPA, OSHA) agencies
National Toxicology Program Steering Committee (NTP SC) Meeting/ Workshop CDC, FDA NIEHS An internal government group comprised of the principal agencies of the National Toxicology Program
Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH) Research Initiative IHS NIGMS, CSR, NCI, NIA, NIAAA, NIAID, NIAMS, NICHD, NIDA, NIDCR, NIDDK, NIEHS, NIMH, NIMHD, OD/DPCPSI/OBSSR, OD/DPCPSI/ORWH, NCCIH, NHGRI, NHLBI The Native American Research for Health (NARCH) program is a trans-NIH collaboration with the Indian Health Service (IHS) that supports collaborations between federally-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes or Tribal organizations and research-intensive academic institutions that support health research projects prioritized by the Tribal communities. NARCH supports competitive research linked to the health priorities of AI/AN organizations and health disparities; increasing the capacity of both AI/AN organizations and research-intensive institutions to reduce distrust by AI/AN communities and people toward research; and developing a cadre of AI/AN scientists and health professionals engaged in biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and health services research who will be competitive in securing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding.
Natural Experiments and Effectiveness Studies in the Prevention and Control of Diabetes (NEXT-D/NEXT-D 2.0/NEXT-D3) Research Initiative CDC NIDDK This project will focus on population-targeted interventions that health systems, communities, and governments can undertake to reduce the incidence of diabetes and its complications. This project will also strengthen the capacity of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to conduct vital health services and health policy research related to diabetes prevention and care. NEXT-D3 is funded through FY25
