and data scientists. The SDC was created in 2013 and was constituted as part of a multifaceted expansion of NIH programs and governance related to data science. The SDC is intended to address, in a trans-NIH manner, the growing challenges and opportunities associated with “big data” and data science (broadly defined) in biomedical research, thereby improving data utilization by the research community so as to transform the impact of biomedical, clinical, and public health research.</p></div></div></div><div class="page-sections"><section class="page-section page-section-processed" about="/field-collection/field-page-section/96"><div class="group-header"><h3 class="page-section-title">Roles and Responsibilities</h3></div><div class="group-left"><div class="field field--name-field-section-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even"><p>The primary roles and responsibilities of the SDC are to provide broad, trans-NIH programmatic leadership in the area of data science by:</p><ol><li>Addressing emergent and ongoing needs related to biomedical data, which include, but are not limited to, areas such as data sustainability, data usability, and data security, and which are appropriate to address in a trans-NIH manner;</li><li>Providing guidance on the infrastructure(s) needed to support (1);</li><li>Developing an NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science, with input from NIH and IC leadership, HHS, scientists, policymakers, scientific and professional societies, and the general public;</li><li>Serving in an advisory capacity to the Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) on data science, including on the implementation of the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science;</li><li>In consultation with the ODSS, establishing subcommittees and working groups necessary to implement the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science;</li><li>Providing guidance about the interaction of NIH data science activities with those across ICs and outside of NIH (e.g., of other government agencies, the private sector, and other funding agencies – private and public, national and international);</li><li>Synergizing with the “parallel” NIH Administrative Data Council and Data Science Policy Council.</li></ol></div></div></div></div><div class="group-right"> </div><div class="group-footer"> </div></section><section class="page-section page-section-processed" about="/field-collection/field-page-section/97"><div class="group-header"><h3 class="page-section-title">Roster</h3></div><div class="group-left"><div class="field field--name-field-section-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even"><div class="row"><div class="col-xs-12"><strong>CO-CHAIRS</strong></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-xs-12"><p><strong>Susan Gregurick, Ph.D. (Ex Officio)</strong><br>Associate Director for Data Science, NIH<br>Director, Office of Data Science Strategy</p><p><strong>Michael Chiang, M.D.</strong><br>Director, National Eye Institute</p></div></div><hr><div class="row"><div class="col-xs-12"><strong>MEMBERS</strong></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-xs-12 col-md-6"><p><strong>Gregory Farber, Ph.D.</strong><br>Director, Office of Technology Development and Coordination, National Institute of Mental Health</p><p><strong>Gary Gibbons, M.D. </strong><br>Director, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute</p><p><strong>Richard Hodes, M.D.</strong><br>Director, National Institute on Aging</p><p><strong>Warren A.
