Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Senate Appropriations Committee in FY2012 encouraged the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) "to work with community stake-holders and other Federal Agencies, including CDC, to develop a national action plan to respond to the growing burden of this disease". In response to this congressional encouragement, NHLBI hosted in Bethesda, Maryland, on May 3, 2013, a forum of representatives from Federal Agencies and Institutes to share information about current activities related to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and discuss opportunities for further cooperation and enhanced effectiveness of the Federal response to this serious public health problem. |
