Description There are sometimes a few proposals which were not funded in their entirety, those few being scaled back from their original level of requested funding (allowable under the program). NCBDDD agrees that incorporation of imaging studies into birth defects surveillance is an important research tool for future use; however, prior to convening a panel of experts, believes it would be beneficial to have a better understanding of how brain imaging has been used by other developmental disability surveillance and research entities to inform their work.NCCDPHP concurred with the BSC's recommendations, but noted that a small number of recommendations were beyond their direct control (e.g., increasing the Leadership and Management budget line). The BSC emphasized the need for programs in all major chronic disease areas in all states, as well as further integration of these programs. Center and Division leadership are strongly committed to expansion and integration of programs. Given the limited availability of funding, programs continue to investigate opportunities for leveraging existing funding and collaborating with other agencies (e.g., HRSA/MCHB) to achieve the goal of integrated chronic disease programs in all states.
