Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The purpose of the NGSP (formerly the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program) is to standardize Hemoglobin A1c test results to those of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), which established the direct relationships between HbA1c levels and outcome risks in patients with diabetes. NIDDK has provided funding for NGSP research initiatives, and NIDDK Extramural Program staff have served on committees. |
