State Cancer Profiles is an interactive mapping engine produced in collaboration between the National Cancer Institute and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was developed with the idea to provide a geographic profile of cancer burden in the United States and reveal geographic disparities in cancer incidence, mortality, risk factors for cancer, and cancer screening across different population subgroups. The target audiences are health planners, policy makers, and cancer information providers who need quick and easy access to cancer related data and maps to inform and prioritize investments in cancer control.

On August 29-30, 2022, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) held a virtual transfusion medicine (TM) research symposium. In advance of the symposium, six multidisciplinary working groups (WG) convened to define research priorities in the following topic areas: blood donors and the supply, optimizing transfusion outcomes for recipients, emerging infections, mechanistic aspects of components and transfusion, new computational methods in transfusion science, and the impact of health disparities on donors and recipients. The objective was to identify key basic, translational, and clinical research questions, that if addressed over the next decade, will increase and diversify the volunteer blood donor pool, help ensure safe and effective transfusion strategies for all blood recipients, and identify which blood products from which donors best meet the clinical needs of specific recipient populations.

"In September 2023, stakeholders from across VA came together to plan for expanded research into and possible implementation of psychedelic-assisted therapy. This convening, called the “State of the Art (SOTA) Conference: Psychedelic Treatments for Mental Health Conditions,” produced a set of recommendations for potential VA system-wide clinical implementation for psychedelic compounds. VA leaders from the Office of Research & Development and Office of Mental Health & Suicide Prevention presented some of the outcomes of the SOTA Conference to the House Veterans Affairs Committee in recent months.

The Steering Committee of the Scientific Interest Group in Glycobiology (GlycoSIG) is comprised of National Institutes of Health (NIH) intramural scientists and program staff as well researchers from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The committee organizes a seminar series; an annual NIH/FDA Glycosciences Research Day Meeting (averaging 250 people in attendance); and a Mentoring & Networking Luncheon for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to meet with staff from federal agencies and learn about NIH extramural programs. The Committee also offers a Special Topics in the Glycosciences Course every other year. In addition, the GlycoSIG maintains an email list serve to distribute information on meetings, jobs, funding opportunities, and seminars. The SIG cross posts with other NIH SIG’s that share interests.

The Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers - Longitudinal Study (STARRS-LS) is the follow-on study to Army STARRS. STARRS-LS aims to create practical, actionable information on risk reduction and resilience-building for suicide, suicide-related behavior, and other mental/behavioral health issues in the military. STARRS-LS was established in July 2015, as a research partnership between the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of the Army, and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to follow the original Army STARRS participants for another five years. The STARRS-LS research team continues to collaborate regularly with other research organizations including the Military Suicide Research Consortium, DoD Millennium Cohort Study, Defense Health Agency Connected Health, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

NLM collaborates with other federal agencies to provide free public access through NLM’s PubMed Central digital archive to peer-reviewed publications resulting from agency-funded research. These agencies include five divisions and offices in HHS and four agencies outside HHS. Interagency agreements (IAAs) have been signed with AHRQ, ASPR, CDC, FDA, and ACL within HHS, as well as with NIST, VA, EPA, and DHS. IAAs with VA and AHRQ have also been extended to support the inclusion of non-journal literature in NCBI’s Bookshelf resource. NLM has also agreed to manuscript redistribution terms with NOAA and DOD to streamline public access compliance across the federal government. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/public-access-info

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) supports research on the delivery of evidence-based early psychosis care, including facilitating the implementation of evidence-based coordinated specialty care (CSC) for early psychosis. Collaborators from NIMH and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Secretary (OS) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) meet on a regular basis to inform each other's research agenda on early psychosis care generally and CSC specifically, identify synergies in research initiatives and formulate new research initiatives, and share related draft reports and funding opportunity announcements for comment.
