NIAID Content Inventory

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) developed this inventory of content as required by Section 207(f)(2) of the E-Government Act of 2002. This inventory is intended to be comprehensive.

In preparing this inventory, NIAID has reviewed information collected as part of the redesign process for www.niaid.nih.gov, including citizen comments via e-mail, a customer survey, focus groups, and usability tests; current Web site statistics indicating usage of existing content; and related information developed through the Information Quality Guidelines process (per Section 515 of Public Law 106-554, known as the Data Quality Act).

This document was posted May 1, 2005 and will be updated as required by the E-Government Act of 2002.
