8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
The Information and Computer Technologies for the 21st Century (ICT21) investment will enable the FDA, through the development of an agency-wide bioinformatics initiative, to strengthen product development and approval, improve manufacturing and product quality, strengthen post-approval surveillance and safety, support electronic prescribing, and improve clinical decision support. FDA expects the development of new information technologies, driven by increases in computational power and sheer volumes of data, to continue to accelerate, and transform nearly every aspect of FDA operations, from scientific computing to adverse event detection. The next few years will bring new types and new quantities of data to FDA, both in submissions and from collaborations and other research. The information technologies of the 21st century will also create new resources to support FDA's public health mission within 5-10 years. In support of the PMA goal to expand e-Government, FDA expects to see mature electronic health records, personal health records, and networks that connect them. The statistics for large datasets which integrate multiple clinical and diagnostic endpoints will continue to be a challenge. In the coming years, sophisticated software packages will likely be used by companies to analyze data as evidence for safety and efficacy. Together, these tools and resources could enable earlier detection of safety signals and efficacy information. The increasing complexity of products and manufacturing methods will require qualitative changes in every aspect of FDA regulatory science, from toxicology to product characterization, quality assessment to safety surveillance. To meet these challenges and requirements, FDA must modernize its capacity and communication capabilities by establishing a standardized approach for delivering IT services. Through this agency-wide bioinformatics initiative, FDA will fulfill its core public health responsibilities, support the HHS goal of increasing scientific research and development, and respond to emerging challenges. In FY07, ICT21 will gather the bioinformatics capacity and data requirements. Based on these requirements, FDA will design the bioinformatics platform capability and will implement a 3 year migration plan to incorporate electronic submission functionality and provide a mechanism to collaborate with external stakeholders

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

PART TWO


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.
1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2007-02-15
1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
no
3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:
This investment has adjusted risk based cost and schedule through utilizing a phased approach for migration and implementation of the bioinformatics platform. This provides flexibility to the program team to utilize lessons learned from each phase and delay migration of critical mission applications to the bioinformatics platform if necessary. Each phase includes a detailed test and evaluation period to ensure that the mission of the FDA will not be adversely affected when production migration occurs. In addition, the program is establishing a Program Management Office (PMO) to address risk and program issues throughout all aspects of the program lifecycle. The PMO works closely with Independent Verification & Validation and contracted Program Management Support to assess investment risks for the program and incorporates these into their cost estimates and work schedule. Project-level IT and business risks are tracked continuously by the Project Officer, and the status is included in periodic project reports to the Program Manager. Project-level risk status is also reviewed during the stage gate process at the end of each life cycle phase. The resources applied to, and the timetable for, conducting these meetings are documented in program planning artifacts. The combination of program level management and substantial preplanning where needed are being applied as appropriate as contracts are initiated, along with the mitigation strategies applied by the project managers themselves relative to the individual efforts.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?
