The NIH IT Infrastructure supports the NIH mission to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone by providing information technology tools to conduct research, award more than $15 billion a year in research grants, and disseminate biomedical research and health information to the public and NIH stakeholders. NIH IT Infrastructure includes: NIHNet NIHNet facilitates the exchange of administrative, clinical and scientific data including medical images and genetic sequence information. It connects NIH buildings on the Bethesda campuses, and in other parts of the U.S. including: Baltimore, MD; Research Triangle Park, NC; Hamilton, MT; and Phoenix, AZ. NIHNet also provides NIH's connection to the Internet and Internet 2. The NIHNet program participates in the planning for and adoption of Internet Protocol Version Six as required by OMB Memorandum M-05-22. NIH Data Center The NIH Data Center is a recognized Federal Data Center hosting mission-critical systems for NIH and other agencies including: ACF, NIST, VA, and GSA. The NIH Data Center has a proven record of administering and managing systems to ensure their availability to users. The Data Center provides both the physical and cyber security appropriate to mission-critical systems. IT Security The NIH IT security program has successfully prevented the loss of the use of the network and associated services. In FY 2005, NIH IT security activities were 99.6% effective against known intrusions. IT Help Desk and Acquisition Support The Help Desk provides a single point of contact for user's IT questions. Help Desk services address user's problems immediately, or direct the request to the appropriate service provider. In FY 2005, the Help Desk resolved 85% of requests for technical support and measured a customer satisfaction rating of 93.3%. NIH provides HHS-wide software licenses through the Information Systems Designated Procurement to acquire software at or below GSA Schedule prices. NIH established and uses the CIOSP2 and ECSIII Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts for procurement of IT hardware and services, reducing costs through the negotiation of prices and simplifying the acquisition process. CPIC and Architectural Review IT Infrastructure and its component parts are reviewed by the Architectural and CPIC Review Boards to ensure that any identified performance gaps are addressed and that future service needs are anticipated and planned for.

SUMMARY OF SPEND


1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.

All amounts represent Budget Authority

Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).

Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?
no
3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.
The FY 2009 NIH IT Infrastructure Budget reflects a slightly different distribution of expenses as a result of a more comprehensive definition of IT Infrastructure applied in the planning process. The expenses do not represent new spending, but instead represent more accurate accounting for IT Infrastructure spending, including the formal inclusion of IT spending in the intramural research laboratories. NIH expects that there may be additional changes in the Summary of Spending table as a result of the IOI [IT Infrastructure] LoB initiative planning.

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.

Enterprise Architecture


In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA.
1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
yes
2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
yes
2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
NIH Information Technology Infrastructure
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
no
4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.

Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

What were the results of your operational analysis?
NIH IT Infrastructure is a steady state investment that undergoes Evaluation reviews on its component programs. Operational analyses for the component programs include comparison of established performance measures to the planned and actual spending for the services provided. The results of the operational analyses are reviewed by the NIH CIO, the CPIC Review Board (Technical Review Board equivalent), the Information Technology Working Group (ITWG) and the Management and Budget Working Group (MBWG) (which together are the ITIRB equivalent). Funding decisions for central IT Infrastructure are made by the MBWG. NIH Institutes and Centers make funding decisions for hardware, software, and services which are not centrally provided. To validate its information technology infrastructure spending, NIH from time to time commissions independent third-party benchmark analyses. Most recently Gartner, Inc., an industry leader in IT measurement, studied NIHNet (FY 2005) and telecommunications operations (FY 2006) expenditures. Gartner compared NIH expenses to other organizations with infrastructure of similar size and complexity and found NIH spending reasonable and appropriate within the bounds of measurement error. Gartner identified opportunities for NIH to improve process management and reduce expenditures. NIH is pursuing the areas for process management and expense reduction.
