Support services for the NIDDK Epidemiology Coordinating Committee

关于NIDDK范围内疾病的有价值的数据来源存在于公共领域的各种调查中，例如国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）进行的调查，医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）收集的数据，卫生保健研究和质量机构（AHRQ）和其他政府计划。 尽管这些方案根据其调查结果发表了一般性报告，但其资源不足以分析通过这些调查收集的大量数据，也不足以进行所需的详细和独特的分析，以满足国家残疾人和残疾人委员会及其支持者的信息需求。 NIDDK流行病学委员会的科学家利用联邦政府以外的研究人员开发的数据集，供NIDDK科学家进行合作分析。

Valuable sources of data about diseases under the purview of NIDDK exist in various surveys that are in public domain, such as those conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), data collected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ), and other government programs.  Although these programs publish general reports based on their surveys, their resources are insufficient to analyze the numerous data collected through these surveys or to develop the detailed and unique analyses required to satisfy the information needs of the NIDDK and their constituency.  The NIDDK Epidemiology Committee scientists utilize data sets developed by individual researchers outside of the Federal government are made available to NIDDK scientists for collaborative analysis.
