“To achieve the Administration’s commitment to increase access to federally funded published research and digital scientific data, Federal agencies investing in research and development must
have clear and coordinated policies for increasing such access.”
Draft Plan
Due Aug 2013
NAC – Information Technology Infrastructure Committee
NAC – Information Technology Infrastructure Committee
“Making information resources accessible, discoverable, and usable by the public can help fuel entrepreneurship, innovation, and scientific discovery-all of which improve Americans' lives and contribute significantly to job creation.”
“This Memorandum requires agencies to collect or create information in a way that supports downstream information processing and dissemination activities.”

UPDATE
March 8, 2012
* To be completed after a joint meeting of ITIC, Science, and Education Committees in July 2012 and the final recommendation submitted to July 2012 NAC meeting
Wording Agreed to by Both ITIC and Science Committees
July 31, 2013
Clinger Cohen Act of 1996: CIO responsible for business transformation and proper use of IT by their agency; Agency head accountable for empowering CIO; CIO as direct report; Funds control via capital budgeting
Bush E-Government and President’s Management Agenda, E-Gov Act of 2002, and Federal Information Security Management Act (2002): Agencies graded on performance (project management, modernization blueprint focus on core performance issues, cyber security, business cases, effective participation in enterprise/cross agency initiatives)
Obama 25 point plan, Digital Government Strategy (May 23, 2012), PortfolioStat Guidance (OMB M-13-09), and CIO Authorities (OMB M-11- 29) CIO as chief agency IT guru focused on IT infrastructure and project management improvements (e.g. fewer failed projects, faster results, data center consolidation), responsible for terminating or fixing poor performing projects, responsible for consolidating hw/sw purchases and data centers using commodity IT, and Bureau CIOs focus on Apps;
Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) as passed by House June 2013: Similar with FITARA, but CIO has more funds control and Bureau CIOs are consolidated under agency CIO and only agency CIO can have a CIO title, CIO responsible for all hw/sw commodity IT
CIO role in IT Governance Models:Heart of Debate: Organization versus ProcessNetwork, firewall and identity & access controls

Buy & Use
Future: Use automated Transactions Processing and SAAS tools; Use of Cloud and hybrid models– use what market provides, limit own and build investments, buy commodities and services not labor hours; governance through EA standards, enterprise services provisioning, etc.
Today: Centralized Production Environment; multiple overlapping and complex Client-server silos; each app has own database; each developed in its own environment; governance though capital budget/ funds control and consensus

"Space flight alters cellular and physiological responses in astronauts including the immune response," said ASU's Cheryl Nickerson, who led a project aboard NASA's space shuttle. "However, relatively little was known about microbial changes to infectious disease risk in response to space flight."
