NIH Center for Information Technology (CIT)

Each day, 40,000 members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) community, working in more than 400 buildings and facilities, rely on CIT to perform world-class research. As one of NIH’s 27 institutes and centers, we collaborate with the NIH intramural community in the areas of computational bioscience, engineering, informatics, and statistics to help make biomedical discoveries that protect and improve our nation’s health.

NIH has benefited from a number of CIT-managed programs and critically needed IT infrastructure upgrades, including:
• A world-renowned supercomputer that allows researchers to conduct large-scale data analyses
• A state-of-the-art network that enables research across NIH and around the world
• Cloud-based services that give researchers a cost-effective way to access datasets and advanced computational tools and services
• The latest collaboration tools to promote flexibility and productivity
