The Retina Network (formerly known as the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network (DRCR.net)) is a collaborative network dedicated to facilitating multicenter clinical research of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, and associated conditions. The DRCR.net supports the identification, design, and implementation of multicenter clinical research initiatives focused on diabetes-induced retinal disorders. Principal emphasis is placed on clinical trials, but epidemiologic outcomes and other research may be supported as well. The network is funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI), and co-funded by the Office of the Secretary (OS), through National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), with the Special Funding Program for Type 1 Diabetes Research.

The Review Policy Committee (RPC) is the principal forum for the development, implementation, and evaluation of review policies and procedures for all types of research, training, and development awards submitted to the NIH. RPC membership includes one senior extramural review official from each NIH Institute and Center that has extramural review functions. The RPC has designated liaisons from other HHS agencies including Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

|
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), in partnership with the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funded the Rural Opioid Initiative (ROI) Research Consortium to help communities develop comprehensive approaches to prevent and treat outcomes related to substance use. This biphasic, multi-site research initiative will address the rural opioid epidemic and its consequences by bringing together expert physicians, epidemiologists, and behavioral health professionals to build collaborations between state and local communities and conduct research, use findings from the rapid assessment phase to propose locally relevant intervention projects, and implement interventions over a period of three years.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award program provides predoctoral and postdoctoral training to meet the nation’s need for investigators in biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research. In accordance with the Public Health Service Act and annual appropriations acts, NIH annually transfers a portion of these funds to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and Health Resources and Services Administration to foster the training of health services and primary care researchers.
