|
Committee was formed to develop manufacturing specifications for Biosafety Level 4 suits given that the sole US manufacturer was shutting down their suit production. This left the BSL 4 laboratories totally reliant on foreign based manufacturers and suppliers. The USG determined that they needed to identify specifications and then solicit US based companies to bid on suit manufacturing.

As the lead U.S. counterintelligence agency, the FBI is responsible for detecting and lawfully countering the actions of foreign intelligence services and organizations as they seek to adversely affect U.S. national interests. The FBI recognized the need to coordinate similar efforts across all agencies, and therefore established the National Counterintelligence Task Force (“NCITF”) to create a whole-of-government approach to counterintelligence.

The N3C is a partnership among the NCATS-supported Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program hubs, the National Center for Data to Health (CD2H), and NIGMS-supported Institutional Development Award Networks for Clinical and Translational Research (IDeA-CTR), to provide clinical data in close to real time to improve our knowledge of COVID-19 and potential treatment strategies. Collaborators will contribute and use COVID-19 clinical data to answer critical research questions to address the pandemic. As the largest limited dataset in US history with more than 11 million participants (https://covid.cd2h.org/), the N3C initiative has demonstrated that it is possible to conduct science/learning healthcare across a large network, share and harmonize sensitive clinical data across modalities at a national scale and to realize the promise of precision medicine. The N3C effort is centered on the following: Establishing a secure data repository (the N3C Data Enclave) for studying COVID-19-related data. Receiving existing patient data derived from electronic health records (EHRs) provided by participating U.S. health care sites. Providing operational support for researchers using the N3C Data Enclave to navigate in the N3C platform and collaborate on COVID-19 research. Ensuring research using the N3C Data Enclave follows the rules and expectations of NCATS and its partners to keep the data secure and protect patient privacy.

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) - started in 1957 - is a continuous, nationwide in-person survey of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population. An estimated 27,000 sample adult and 9,000 sample child interviews are expected to be completed annually. NCI sponsors an annual Cancer Control Supplement (CCS) to the NHIS, which is administered to the sample adult in the selected household. The CCS focuses on the surveillance of cancer screening use, cancer risk assessment practices, and cancer-related health behaviors in the U.S.
