National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders; Notice of Meeting, 42802-42803 [2014-17261]

Download as PDF 42802 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 141 / Wednesday, July 23, 2014 / Notices Because there still is a need for HHS to clarify its interpretation of how the orphan drug exclusion in the 340B Program should be implemented to be consistent with section 340B(e) of the PHSA, HHS is making available an interpretive rule on this topic. In short, this interpretive rule clarifies that HHS interprets section 340B(e) of the PHSA as excluding drugs with an orphan designation only when those drugs are transferred, prescribed, sold, or otherwise used for the rare condition or disease for which the drug was designated under section 526 of the FD&C Act. This section of the PHSA does not exclude drugs that are transferred, prescribed, sold, or otherwise used for conditions or diseases other than for which the drug was designated under section 526 of the FD&C Act.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health Announcement of Requirements and Registration for ‘‘Stories of Basic Science to Medical Advances’’ Challenge Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3719. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announces a challenge titled ‘‘Stories of Basic Science to Medical Advances.’’ This Challenge aims to track medical advances stemming from NIGMSsupported basic science. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42803 Submission Period: July 21, 2014—October 20, 2014. Judging Period: October 21, 2014— November 20, 2014. Winners announced: 14 days after judging is complete. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Darren Sledjeski, Ph.D. 301–594–0943, nigms_challenges@mail.nih.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The mission of NIGMS is to support basic, non-disease-targeted research that increases understanding of life processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. NIGMSfunded researchers seek to answer important scientific questions to increase our knowledge about the mechanisms and pathways involved in diseases and develop new tools and techniques that have medical applications. NIGMS’ strategic plan states that one of its goals is to ‘‘advance awareness and understanding of the basic biomedical research enterprise, including its value, requirements, and potential impact.’’ Accomplishing this goal, however, can be difficult because the path between basic discoveries and their applications is often long, and the connections can be hard to track. In addition to tracking the medical advances stemming from NIGMSsupported science, the Challenge is also intended to attract more interest and attention to the basic science research funded by NIGMS; stimulate innovation by acknowledging the key role that NIGMS funded research plays in laying the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention; and advance the statutory purpose of NIGMS to ‘‘conduct and support research and health information dissemination with respect to general or basic medical sciences and related natural and behavioral sciences which have significance for two or more other national research institutes or are outside the general area of responsibility of any other national research institute.’’ 42 U.S.C. 285k. Subject of Challenge: NIH seeks the public’s help in capturing NIGMS’ progress toward its strategic goal to ‘‘advance awareness and understanding of the basic biomedical research enterprise, including its value, requirements, and potential impact.’’ The goal of the Challenge is to identify past advances that are serving (or have served) to improve human health and well-being but not ongoing studies that may, in the future, have a major impact. NIGMS will use these examples to help inform the historical context of scientific breakthroughs and NIGMS’ DATES: E:\FR\FM\23JYN1.SGM 23JYN1
