Information Technology

The Food and Drug Administration's request includes funding to support the President's Management Agenda E-Gov initiatives and Departmental enterprise information technology initiatives identified through the HHS strategic planning process.  Agency funds will be combined with resources in the Information Technology Security and Innovation Fund to promote collaboration in planning and project management and to achieve common goals such as secure and reliable communication and lower costs for the purchase and maintenance of hardware and software.  The enterprise IT investments enable HHS programs to carry-out their missions more securely and at a lower cost.  Examples of HHS enterprise initiatives currently being funded are Enterprise E-mail, Network Modernization, and Public Key Infrastructure.
