The Diabetes Mellitus Interagency Coordinating Committee (DMICC), chaired by the NIDDK, facilitates cooperation, communication, and collaboration on diabetes among several government agencies. The DMICC plays an important role in providing input on diabetes research supported by the Special Diabetes Program.
