Description of Collaborative Activity: |
Initiated in 2000-2001, the NCS Interagency Coordinating Committee represents the lead agencies for the Study and oversees broad Study issues and ensures interagency collaboration. The representatives assure that at a high level, the mission and goals of the National Children's Study are maintained over time and that they reflect the scientific priorities of the Study's four lead agencies. The committee is made up of staff from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (including the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, of the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. |
