The mission of the Advisory Council to Support Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (SGRG) is to identify, promote, coordinate and disseminate information, resources, and best practices to help grandparents and older relative caregivers of children meet the health, educational, nutritional, and other needs of the children in their care, while maintaining their own physical, mental, and emotional well-being. As part of this vision, all recommendations will consider the needs of members of Native American tribes and families affected by the opioid crisis.

The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) project, a landmark longitudinal study of brain development and child health, will increase our understanding of how diverse experiences during adolescence interact with changing biology to influence brain, cognitive, and social/emotional development of youth. In partnership with area public and private schools, researchers at twenty-one research sites across the country will recruit 10,000 children at age 9-10 from diverse races and ethnicities, education and income levels, and living environments and follow them through their teens and into early adulthood. Throughout this period, researchers will assess each child’s physical and mental health, substance use, sleep patterns, genetics, childhood experiences, and cultural/environmental influences, as well as track brain and cognitive development with non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging scans at regular intervals. To enrich the value of the study, ABCD will release anonymized data annually to the research community in an open science model to allow scientists from all over the world to conduct analyses and pool resources to rapidly expand the types of scientific questions that can be answered. The actionable information coming out of this study will enable education, substance use prevention, and other health promotion policies to ensure the wellbeing and success of the Nation’s children.

This initiative aims to improve the lives of Americans suffering from kidney disease, expand options for American patients, and reduce healthcare costs. The initiative provides specific solutions to deliver on three goals: fewer patients developing kidney failure, fewer Americans receiving dialysis in dialysis centers, and more kidneys available for transplant. NIDDK promotes an integrated health system model of team-based clinical care based on the pragmatic experience of the IHS; Kidney Disease Program. NIDDK has developed new clinical tools and educational programs that improve the care of people with kidney disease in primary care settings. NIDDK works in collaboration with government, nonprofit, and health care organizations to raise awareness about screening for individuals at risk for kidney disease; educate individuals about how to manage their disease; provide information, training, and tools that help health care providers; and support important health systems changes.
