TACT2 is a clinical trial to determine whether intravenous 2EDTA chelation therapy in combinations with oral multivitamins or alone will reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (such as stroke and heart attack) in patients who have already had a heart attack and who also have type 2 diabetes. NIDDK has funded trials within this research initiative.

The Tribal Epidemiology Centers Program develops Epidemiology Centers for ongoing disease surveillance and public health infrastructure for American Indian and Alaska Native communities. NIMHD issued a funding opportunity announcement, the Collaborative Minority Health, and Health Disparities Research with Tribal Epidemiology Centers (R01 and R21 Clinical Trials Not Allowed). PAR-17-484 and PAR-17-48. In addition, in 2022 NIMHD with support from the NIH Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) established a Resource Center for Tribal Epidemiology Centers (RC-TEC).

The NCI Center for Global Health is leading the coordination of the Trilateral Dialogue on Cancer Research among the National Cancer Institute of the United States, National Cancer Center Japan, and National Cancer Center Korea. This partnership was initially led by the Department of State, with an initial meeting held on January 17, 2024. The partnership was initially launched by President Biden at the Trilateral Leaders’ Summit at Camp David in August 2023, where Cancer Moonshot cooperation among the three countries was highlighted. A virtual planning session with all partners will be held on June 17, 2023, with the goal of identifying scientific priority areas, establishing the structure and timeline of the partnership, as well as discussing expected outcomes of the collaboration. Other collaborative activities: meeting/workshop, research initiative

The Congressionally mandated HRRP was initiated in 2017 to pursue promising, necessary research for treatment of burdensome and very prevalent auditory system injury. The HRRP will fund innovative research that has the potential to maximize operational effectiveness, medical readiness and quality of life for Service members, Veterans and others living with significant auditory system injuries. NIDCD staff was invited to serve on the Programmatic Panel for this initiative.

The Interagency Crosscutting Group on Climate Change and Human Health (CCHHG) coordinates, implements, evaluates, and communicates federal research and scientific activities related to the human health impacts of global climate change. With health recently identified as one of USGCRP’s Focus Areas, the CCHHG works to address key gaps related to human health aspects of global change. CCHHG develops data-driven scientific products, such as tools, indicators, and assessments, including the 2016 Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health: A Scientific Assessment. The group also facilitates multi-directional communication among relevant stakeholders to help provide end-user input into federal research efforts. In addition to its U.S.-focused activities, the CCHHG supports USGCRP and its member agencies, including the U.S. Department of State and USAID, by bringing health expertise to international negotiations, collaborative projects, and capacity-building activities.

The U.S. Government Global Nutrition Coordination Plan is an interagency effort to strengthen the impact of the many diverse nutrition investments across the U.S. Government through better communication and collaboration and by linking research to program implementation. Through coordination mechanisms, the U.S. Government is working to maximize its support to country-led programs, continue its global leadership and partnerships, and generate, share, and apply knowledge and evidence in the nutrition sector in order to accelerate progress toward shared nutrition goals. At the forefront of the Coordination Plan is the recognition that, as stewards of American investments, U.S. Government agencies must ensure that these investments are used in the most efficient and impactful way possible.https://www.usaid.gov/global-health/health-areas/nutrition/usgplan

The Consortium was created to provide a community of practice to share best practices, facilitate ORCID integrations, and identify and resolve issues, while decreasing costs and streamlining administrative processes and technical support. The Consortium provides and facilitates the Consortium Community of Practice. The Community of Practice is open to all Consortium members interested in participating. It is a place to share best practices and use cases, discuss challenges, raise ORCID awareness, share ORCID integration ideas, identify cross facility/office collaborations, and offer benchmarking to Consortium members.

The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent panel of non-Federal experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine. The USPSTF uses information from systematic evidence reviews to make recommendations for a broad range of clinical preventive health care services (such as screening, counseling, and preventive medications) that are delivered in or referred from primary care practice. USPSTF recommendations are developed for primary care clinicians, health systems, and policy-makers, and published in the form of "Recommendation Statements." The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has been authorized by the US Congress to convene the Task Force and to provide ongoing scientific, administrative, and dissemination support to the Task Force. The NIH Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) works closely with AHRQ and the USPSTF to provide scientific input from NIH Institutes and Centers on draft research plans, draft evidence reviews, and draft recommendation statements. The ODP also disseminates information to NIH Institutes and Centers about high-priority evidence gaps for clinical preventive services that have been identified by the USPSTF.

The United States Renal Data System (USRDS), supported and hosted by NIDDK, is a national data system that collects, analyzes, and distributes information about chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. The missions of USRDS are: (1) To characterize the total renal patient population and describe the distribution of patients by socio-demographic variables across treatment modalities; (2) To report on the incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and trends over time of renal disease by primary diagnosis, treatment modality and other variables; (3) To develop and analyze data on the effect of various modalities of treatment by disease and patient group categories; (4) To identify problems and opportunities for more focused special studies of renal research issues; (5) To conduct cost effectiveness studies and other economic studies of ESRD; and (6) To make the data available to investigators, and by supporting investigator-initiated projects, to conduct biomedical and economic analyses of ESRD patients.
