| Description |
For a variety of its own reasons not applicable to the Committee, the agency may implement all/most of the recommendations,
but few times recommendations are not implemented.

In response to the BSC's recommendations, the following steps were taken:NCBDDD: a) conducted a detailed program review of
all Division's activities related to DVT and identified gaps; b) invited a group of experts to advise on best approaches to
conduct surveillance of DVT; c) worked with five thrombosis centers to define data items needed to better identify risk factors
for DVT; d) organized a panel of experts to assess the future use of imaging or other digital imaging data in DBDDD surveillance
systems; e) developed two biobanks through the NBDPS and SEED; f) DBDDD's completing an update of its strategic plan; g)expanding
mission to include morbidity and quality of life outcomes associated with BD and DD; and, h) expanding efforts in ealry detection
and intervention, especially in primary care settingsNCCDPHP: The BSC report included recommendations centered on the use
of the social-ecological model as a unifying theoretical framework for programs. This model offers a structure for the Center’s
ongoing efforts in program integration. The Center directly addressed the remaining recommendations. These include improving
collaborations, evaluating programs within the Center, and supporting capacity development. In the area of collaboration,
there are multiple opportunities to work with partners at all levels of HHS. Many NCCDPHP research and program activities
reflect deep and broad collaborations with other HHS Agencies including NIH. NCCDPHP currently has a number of projects that
are co-funded/collaborative with NIH, HRSA, and OPA to leverage funding for increased impact. In addition, all CDC research
funding announcements are listed in the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts to facilitate collaboration internally and externally.The
recommendations covered a broad range of topic areas and were at the level of the Center as an operational unit rather than
at the program-specific level. The actions that will emerge from these recommendations are increased collaboration and support
for ongoing evaluation of existing programs and increased effectiveness and impact of Center programs. NCCDPHP appreciates
the BSC’s careful and thorough review and will continue to work to ensure implementation of its recommendations
