Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Federal Data Consortium on Pregnancy and Birth to 24 Months (P/B-24, Data Consortium) is a Federal forum for sharing information and finding solutions to resolve crucial needs for data on P/B-24 populations to inform public health initiatives. The Data Consortium facilitates the ability for Federal agencies to gather and vet input to inform projects and research plans and share information on data availability and usage. Over a dozen Federal agencies have funded projects coordinated by the Data Consortium focused on filling critical gaps in scientific knowledge to support evidence-based programs, policies, and educational initiatives across the government and non-government sectors. The collaboration spans over 200 Federal staff and leaders from around 40 agencies in six Departments (HHS, USDA, USAID, EPA, NSF, and DoD). The Data Consortium is co-led by representatives of ODPHP (within OASH), CDC, NIH, and FDA of HHS and ARS and FNS of USDA. |
