The NIH CIO advises the NIH Director and NIH senior management on strategic directions and management of significant NIH Information and Information Technology (I&IT) programs and policy. The goals of the CIO are to: enable creation and sharing of scientific and business knowledge; enhance business adaptability by ensuring that NIH information and information technology (I&IT) projects are well managed to respond rapidly to business and research needs; ensure a robust, secure NIH infrastructure at or above industry standards at least cost; manage integration of external imperatives with NIH needs; lead NIH I&IT across the Institutes and Centers; and develop an I&IT capable workforce.
The strategy outlined in this document proposes a new and more synergistic approach for technology decision making at NIH and describes a cohesive framework to guide how NIH prioritizes, selects, and delivers high-priority, high-value capabilities over the next five years. Most importantly, it recommends new ways of working together to ensure NIH has the capabilities necessary to advance discoveries in the years ahead.
