DEA also oversees the National Advisory Allergy and Infectious Diseases Council.

DEA staff interact with grant recipients, institutional officials, contractors, committee members, applicants, and NIAID and National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff. In addition, DEA works closely with the NIH Office of Extramural Research, Center for Scientific Review, and other NIH Office of the Director components to coordinate, implement, and develop new extramural policies for research grants and contracts.
