NLM |
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) Board of Regents (the Board) provides advice and recommendations on policy matters related to NLM. This includes guidance on the acquisition of materials, defining the scope, content, and organization of services, and establishing rules for the availability of NLM materials, publications, facilities, and services to different user groups. The Board may also make recommendations on research conducted at NLM, review and make recommendations about applications for grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements for support of medical library resources and systems, research in medical informatics and management of biotechnology information, training for research and the use of information management technology, biomedical publications, development and demonstration projects, educational technology, and related projects that show promise of making valuable contributions to NLM’s mission. The Board also advises on the development of a biomedical communications network through the support and maintenance of a national network of libraries of medicine. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/od/bor/bor.html |

The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is revolutionizing our understanding of the brain by developing and applying innovative technologies to study brain circuits and, ultimately, to develop new ways to treat brain disorders. Circuits of brain cells enable us to think, perceive our world, and act upon it, and disruption of these circuits underlies neurological, psychiatric, and substance misuse disorders. The BRAIN Initiative also facilitates collaborative neuroscience research partnerships, resource meetings, and working groups. |

The Bridge to Artificial Intelligence (Bridge2AI) program seeks to propel biomedical research forward by setting the stage for widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) that tackles complex biomedical challenges beyond human intuition. Bridge2AI works with representatives from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to bring expertise from across the federal government to help develop this groundbreaking new program that aims to harness the power of AI/ML for human health. Bridge2AI is also collaborating with DOE Office of Science program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research to jointly address important issues and challenges in developing AI and machine learning methods for privacy-sensitive datasets. |

Through this project, the U.S. Burden of Health Disparities Working Group at NIH aims to generate a landmark and comprehensive report and public platform with data on U.S. Burden of Health Disparities by Race/Ethnicity, Sex, Age, Socioeconomic Status and Geography. The project entails producing detailed county-level estimates of disease burden stratified by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), age, and sex for a vast array of diseases, injuries, and risk factors. The report would include a broad set of measures of the burden of disease (e.g., disability-adjusted life years and healthy life expectancy). This project would result in a platform for downloadable, publicly available data review and visualization tools for extracting information on these stratified analyses at the county-level for every U.S. County. CDC/NCVS is providing guidance on vital statistics data, algorithms and procedures used to generate life expectancy estimates, etc., by race and ethnicity. |
