The nation's medical research agency - the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - has a massive campus running cutting edge research and development, supported heavily by advanced technology and innovation. With this comes a unique audience of scientists and personnel with special applications. 

Reach them virtually at Virtual Tech Day with NIH! All personnel on the NIH campus receive FBC's wide-reaching promotions for this exciting event. Now's the time to show them that your product or service is what they've been missing.

NIH Mission and Goals:
NIH’s mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life and reduce illness and disability.

To carry out this mission, NIH’s goals are: to foster fundamental creative discoveries, innovative research strategies and their applications as a basis for ultimately protecting and improving health; to develop, maintain and renew scientific human and physical resources that will ensure the nation’s capability to prevent disease; to expand the knowledge base in medical science and associated sciences in order to enhance the nation’s economic well-being and ensure a continued high return on the public investment in research; and to exemplify and promote the highest level of scientific integrity, public accountability and social responsibility in the conduct of science.

Organization:
NIH is an operating division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), responsible for helping the Department realize its strategic goal of advancing scientific knowledge and innovation.

To accomplish this, NIH consists of 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs), along with Program Offices, which collectively are referred to as ICOs. These ICOs have individual strategic plans and specific research agendas, which are aligned with the legislative mandates that are often related to specific diseases or body systems. To support these missions, most of NIH’s ICOs receive a specific appropriation from Congress, and support research and research training through extramural funding awarded to universities, academic health centers and other research institutions. Most also conduct research and research training in their own intramural laboratories, the majority of which are located on the NIH’s main campus in Bethesda, MD.

From the NIH Strategic Plan:
NIH supports a broad, balanced portfolio of basic research across a wide range of scientific disciplines, a portfolio that will be complemented by vigorous support of innovations in technology and data science. By maintaining and strengthening its already impressive foundation of fundamental science, biomedical research will be poised to identify and capitalize upon potential opportunities for revolutionary breakthroughs with the potential for preventing, treating and curing disease.

Technological innovations will also be instrumental for research aimed at making advances in the early detection, diagnosis and prevention of disease. At the forefront of this effort will be the NIH-led PMI cohort. Taking advantage of emerging biomedical tools and technologies, such as availability of electronic health records, DNA sequencing and exposure monitoring, PMI’s longitudinal research cohort of 1 million or more U.S. volunteers will establish a base of scientific knowledge that can be used to develop prevention and screening strategies tailored to individuals at the most opportune times across the course of their lives.

PMI will also take advantage of the latest methods and approaches in data science, including advances in large-scale databases, computational tools and -omics methodologies to characterize individuals. In addition, PMI will offer researchers the ability to test whether mobile technologies are useful in adapting preventive strategies to individuals’ needs and preferences, enhancing delivery of interventions and improving monitoring of compliance and outcomes. PMI will pioneer efforts to merge, integrate and analyze data from a wide variety of sources with implications for prevention, including basic biological data, health status NIH-Wide Strategic Plan 26 information from electronic health records, individual data on environmental exposures, geospatial data on community environmental exposures and so on.

The CyberMaryland Conference is an annual event presented by the Federal Business Council (FBC) in conjunction with academia, government and private industry organizations. Popular with cyber experts from along the East Coast, this 9th annual conference provides an opportunity for Maryland to demonstrate its natural leadership in cybersecurity. In 2021, the conference is set to take place virtually.

CyberMaryland has been the epicenter of information security & innovation since its launch in 2011. It's a timely and informative conference where Maryland’s leading IT firms, top universities and tech-savvy workers join forces with the federal government and the U.S. military to network and experience unparalleled information sharing. Maryland is home to an increasingly influential cyber community, including a high density of cyber engineers coming from the nation’s top security agencies. That makes this event a not-to-be-missed opportunity for both national and Maryland-based industry partners.

Industry representatives can expect thought leaders from Maryland’s cybersecurity sector and nationally recognized speakers and panelists on cyber and technology innovations. Sessions cover the most up-to-date information from subject matter experts in all facets of the cyber ecosystem.

We expect 1,000+ attendees to register this year!

Hosted by the Office of the Chief Information Officer, this Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) event attracts IT and cyber personnel, as well as NRC contractors. Internally, NRC promotes the event as "HACK," which stands for "Helpful Applied Cyber Knowledge." Their well-received campaign encourages all NRC technology users to be aware of the impact of their activities on connected devices (both at home and in the workplace) and the threats they may potentially and unknowingly generate.

The NRC Information Security Directorate works diligently daily to provide technological protection for our nation's people and environment. Part of their comprehensive approach is to convene semiannually for a 1-day NRC Cybersecurity Seminar with government and industry sessions that focus on what's new and what's next in cyber. The theme for the May HACK event is "Everyone is a Link in the Chain of Security" with a focus on supply chain.

The October 2020 virtual event saw its largest participant numbers to date with 500 attendees and the May event should be no different! Due to its virtual nature, this event has now been opened up to all government agencies. NRC executives, including the CIO, CISO and Information Security Director, have all attended each expo for the past 2 years. Attendees from the 2020 events included:

• Developers
• Engineers
• Geotechnical Engineers
• IT Analysts and IT Specialists
• Network Engineers and Mobility Engineers
• Project Managers
• Security Analysts and Security Specialists
• System Administrators

Sponsors may also attend the sessions.
