| The NIH Executive Secretariat (ES) receives, screens, distributes,
tracks, and files correspondence to the NIH Director and Deputy Director from the
public, academia, Congress, the White House, foreign heads of
state and their representatives, the Office of the Secretary
of Health and Human Services, other Government agencies, and
NIH staff. ES uses an electronic document management system to
track the status of actions related to this correspondence, to
route correspondence within NIH, and to maintain the official
records of the NIH Director and Deputy Director. ES serves as a key information source
for Institute and Center Directors and Office of the Director
staff and ensures that the NIH Director has the benefit of all
points of view before signing documents that establish or affect
NIH policy. ES also edits, reviews, clears, and submits to the
Office of the Secretary all NIH congressional reports except
those required by Appropriations Committees. ES is located within
the immediate office of the NIH Director. |
