This subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Technology is responsible for coordinating the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The NNI, established in 2001, is a U.S. Government research and development (R&D) initiative. Over thirty Federal departments, independent agencies, and commissions work together toward the shared vision of a future in which the ability to understand and control matter at the nanoscale leads to ongoing revolutions in technology and industry that benefit society. The NSET Subcommittee is co-chaired by representatives from two agencies and from the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). NSET participants work together to develop shared goals and priorities for the NNI and to develop a comprehensive nanotechnology R&D program that leverages individual agency resources and investments. |

NIAID |
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. |

| Tobacco Product Disease Risks |
Research Initiative |
FDA |
NCI |
The NCI and the FDA-Center for Tobacco Products, in collaboration with the US Census Bureau, co-lead this study, which harmonizes data on cigarette, cigar, and pipe use from various Tobacco Use Supplements that have been administered over the years as part of the Current Population Survey. The participants in these surveys have been followed for mortality by linkage to the National Death Index. These data are used to provide contemporary estimates of the mortality risks of daily and non-daily use of cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. |
