Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The TB Working Group provides a forum for sharing information about NIH-specific TB projects, including both ongoing and proposed research, including extramural funding initiatives. In addition, the working group fosters continual open communication about TB research being conducted across NIH and maintains a consistent message about the importance of NIH intramural and extramural TB research. It also provides an avenue for the introduction of new technology programs of interest and importance for TB research (such as the "human on a chip"). The working group invites guests/speakers from outside NIH and convenes invitations for teleconference participation to other US Government agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). |
