Exec Sec represents NIH’s perspective to HHS Operating and Staff Divisions and other government agencies and serves as an honest broker in adjudicating differences in organizational perspectives across NIH. Exec Sec disseminates and integrates current information and uses best practices to support NIH leadership, maintaining integrity, accountability, confidentiality, transparency, and resiliency. This work is often accomplished in collaboration with a network of liaisons in NIH’s Institutes, Centers, and Offices.
