The Interagency Coordinating Committee organizes and directs operations of the Study. This committee is made up of staff from two federal agencies: the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Within HHS, staff is contributed from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). CDC contributes staff from the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities and the National Center for Health Statistics; NIH contributes staff from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. EPA contributes staff from the National Center for Environmental Research, the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory, the Office of Children's Health Protection, and the National Exposure Research Laboratory.
