The National Library of Medicine (NLM) Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) integrates and distributes key terminology, classification and coding standards, and associated resources to promote creation of more effective and interoperable biomedical information systems and services, including electronic health records. NLM ingests over 200 different medical vocabulary sources, facilitates mapping of vocabularies into a unified terminology set, and provides access to the native versions of these terminologies to enable interoperability between researchers, health professionals, and health data systems. Collaborators such as the National Cancer Institute, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, CDC, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and FDA have provided vocabularies for inclusion in the UMLS as well as input for UMLS development and enhancements. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/index.html

The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) is the largest and oldest international cancer-fighting organisation. Founded in Geneva in 1933, UICC has over 1,200 members in 173 countries, enjoys consultative status with the United Nations (ECOSOC) and has official relations with the following institutions: WHO, IARC, IAEA, UNODC. UICC has over 60 partners, including associations working to fight cancer, as well as companies and foundations. UICC is a founding member of the NCD Alliance, McCabe Centre and ICCP. UICC’s mission is to unite and support the cancer community to reduce the global cancer burden, to promote greater equality and to ensure that the cancer control continues to be a priority in the world health and development agenda. Its main areas of activity focus on convening the world's leaders for innovative, wide-reaching, cancer-control events and initiatives; building capacity to meet regional needs; and developing awareness campaigns. The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NCI/CGH is to serve as a framework for collaboration between NCI/CGH and UICC to develop and implement joint activities to support global cancer control, leveraging each other’s expertise and experience for greater impact. The focus areas of the Collaboration:• Convening meetings and other events, such as the World Cancer Congress;• Capacity building, such as the UICC Technical Fellowships, and the UICC-led replication of the Project ECHO for Knowledge Summaries for Comprehensive Breast Cancer Control;• Knowledge, advocacy and policy, such as scientific collaboration on the TNM cancer staging system and tobacco control, and the International Cancer Control Partnership (ICCP); and• Additional areas mutually identified by the Participants. Type of collaborative activity: partnership

The USCDI+ initiative supports the identification and establishment of domain or program-specific data element lists that operate as extensions to the existing USCDI. USCDI+ is a service ONC provides to federal and industry partners to establish, harmonize, and advance the use of interoperable data element lists that extend beyond the core data in the USCDI in order to meet specific programmatic and/or use case requirements. This approach allows HHS to assure that USCDI+ extensions are built from the same core USCDI foundation, align to harmonized data standards and taxonomies, and create the opportunity for aligning similar data needs across programs and use cases.

The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) was established by Congress in 1990 to coordinate federal research and investments in understanding the forces shaping the global environment, both human and natural, and their impacts on society. USGCRP facilitates collaboration and cooperation across 15 federal member agencies to advance understanding of the changing Earth system. Research supported by USGCRP informs the Nation in navigating the challenges of a changing environment and identifying opportunities for a more resilient future.Together, USGCRP and its member agencies provide a gateway to authoritative science, tools, and resources to help people and organizations across the country manage risks and respond to changing environmental conditions.
