| Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) and Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO): Priority Research Opportunities in Crisis Response Services |
Research Initiative |
SAMHSA |
NIMH |
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) collaborated with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to develop a Notice of Special Interest (NOT-MH-23-140) that communicates priority research opportunities in crisis response services. This includes research on 1) treatment and services interventions; 2) triage, dispatch, and other forms of decision support; and 3) strategies to promote service engagement/continuity and quality of care. |
| NSF 24-561: Foundations for Digital Twins as Catalyzers of Biomedical Technological Innovation (cross Agency NSF-FDA-NIH initiative) |

NCI, NHLBI, NIBIB, NIDCR, NLM |
The Foundations for Digital Twins as Catalyzers of Biomedical Technological Innovation (FDT-BioTech) program supports inherently interdisciplinary research projects that underpin the mathematical and engineering foundations behind the development and use of digital twins and synthetic data in biomedical and healthcare applications, with a particular focus on digital, in silico models used in the evaluation of medical devices and the relevance of the developed models in addressing current and emerging challenges affecting the development and assessment of biomedical technologies. The goal of the FDT-BioTech initiative is to catalyze biomedical technological innovation through new foundational development of methods and algorithms relevant to digital twins and synthetic humans. |

The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Subcommittee on Open Science (SOS) advances federal efforts to support open science by increasing access to, and use of, the results of federally funded research and development including, but not limited to, scholarly publications and digital data. Among its responsibilities, the SOS aims to improve the implementation of policies that increase access to the results of federally funded scientific research and to identify additional steps that federal departments and agencies can take to enhance the preservation, discoverability, accessibility, quality, and utility of research outputs. The SOS meets monthly to coordinate government-wide efforts to advance open science and improve access to and use of publications, data, and other outputs of federally funded research. |

OD/OSP |
The Security/Risk Management Subgroup of the Subcommittee on Open Science (SOS) of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) is investigating methodologies for a coordinated, cross-agency approach to raising agency awareness of the benefits and risks of public access to the results of federally funded research. A consistent risk management program is a critical component within the research data lifecycle and can lead to an increase in public release determinations. When potential adverse disclosure risks are evaluated by expert reviewers, the data may be released intact or after mitigations that lower disclosure risk are implemented. The overarching goal is to suggest a robust risk management regime which sustains integrity of federal research objects and promotes public confidence and trust in federal science programs. Efforts will focus on statutory, regulatory, and federal agency policy; technical risk factors that affect pre-lease, release, and post-release stages of the research data lifecycle; and controlled access to results of federally funded research. In July 22, 2018, Federal agencies held a workshop at NIH on the risks of unintended disclosures from public access to scientific data; in March 2020, the SOS established a Risk Workgroup. |
