NIAID, NICHD, NIDDK, NIEHS
|
This consortium, established and funded by NIDDK, is organizing international efforts to identify infectious agents, dietary factors, or other environmental factors that trigger type 1 diabetes in genetically susceptible people. The study enrolled over 8,000 newborns and is following them for 15 years to identify environmental triggers of type 1 diabetes.

Research Initiative
|
CDC, FDA
|
NCI, NHGRI, NHLBI, NIA, NIAID, NIEHS
|
The Epidemiology of Burkitt Lymphoma in East-African Children and Minors (EMBLEM) initiative provides a unique infrastructure to obtain valuable data and samples to study Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) epidemiology. Study data will help characterize or investigate: (1) The association of malaria-resistance genes with endemic BL. (2) Host genetic polymorphisms associated with BL using genome-wide association methods. (3) The role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genetic variants in endemic BL. (4) The role of malaria immunology and phenotype of inflammation in BL. (5) The complexity of coinfection with different P. falciparum malaria genotypes in BL. (6) The interaction between helminthic parasites, HIV, malaria, and EBV in BL. (7) The immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology of BL. (8) The impact of malaria, helminthic parasites, and HIV on childhood BL.

NCI and the CDC are collaborating on a pilot study to measure nitrate in urine. The aim of the pilot is to determine if drinking water sources in high and low nitrate regions of Golestan province are associated with higher urinary nitrate concentrations (a biomarker of ingestion) after accounting for dietary intake.

Not Reported
|
NCI, NIEHS
|
The PROject for Military Exposures and Toxin History Evaluation in U.S. Service Members (PROMETHEUS) is a multi-federal, public-private partnership collaboration to study the impact of environmental exposures on the health of Service Members. PROMETHEUS aims to 1) integrate scientific platforms across agencies; 2) create a process and research ecosystem to integrate or link individual-level datasets of exposures and phenotypic information; and 3) conduct research that leverages exposure, phenotypic, and biospecimen data, which are specific to the DoD. In the current research study, the research study team will utilize new and archival data and biospecimens as well as cutting-edge platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to examine the relationship between deployment-related environmental exposures and biomarkers for EOBC.

The Tick-Borne Disease Working Group was established by Congress in 2016 as part of the 21st Century Cures Act to provide subject matter expertise and to review federal efforts related to all tick-borne diseases, to help ensure interagency coordination and minimize overlap, and to examine research priorities. The focus of this effort is the development of a report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Congress on the findings and any recommendations of the Working Group for the federal response to tick-borne disease prevention, treatment, and research, as well as how to address gaps in these areas.
