19. FDA Mission: What does this mean to Internet2? • FDA's mission is to promote and protect the public health by helping safe and effective products reach the market in a timely way, and monitoring products for continued safety after they are in use. Our work is a blending of law and science aimed at protecting consumers.

20. Internet2 and the Next Generation Internet Initiative Internet2 IT R&D Federal agency-led University-led Developing education and research driven applications Agency mission-driven and general purpose applications Building out campus networks, gigaPoPs and inter-gigapop infrastructure Funding research testbeds and agency research networks Interconnecting and interoperating to provide advanced networking capabilities needed to support advanced research and education applications

21. Challenges • DHHS lack of national vision in US • Critical, long-term research, technology and policy issues must be addressed • Integrated decision-support systems • Lack of expertise at nexus of health and computing/communications • IT innovation NOT a medical investment • Role and management of IT in DHHS

22. Recommendations • Establish pilot projects and technology centers • Scalable Information Infrastructure • Privacy legislation enacted by Congress • Establish programs to increase expertise • Outline of DHHS IT vision • DHHS senior information technology leader appointment and appropriate resources to carry vision forward

23. R&D Topics • Multi Center Clinical Trails • Knowledge Management • Pharmaceuticals to market faster • Medical device validation • Biologics • Blood product information management • Vaccines
