The Health Information Technology Advisory Committee (HITAC) was established by the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255) and is governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), P.L. 92-463, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, which sets forth standards for the formation and use of federal advisory committees. The HITAC will recommend to the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology policies, standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria relating to the implementation of a health information technology infrastructure, nationally and locally, that advances the electronic access, exchange, and use of health information. HITAC unifies the roles of, and replaces, the Health Information Technology Policy Committee and the Health Information Technology Standards Committee that were in existence before the date of the enactment of the 21st Century Cures Act. HITAC replaced the Content Standards Workgroup of the Health Information Technology (HIT) Standards Committee, which was part of the Federal Advisory Committee that was charged with making recommendations to ONC on standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria for the electronic exchange and use of health information.

The Health-professional Education Partnership Initiative (HEPI) builds human capacity for health in Africa by strengthening the medical and nursing education system in an environment that values and nurtures research in President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)-funded countries. HEPI aims to advance PEPFAR's goal of increasing the number of new health care workers by 140,000; strengthen in-country medical and nursing education systems; and build clinical and research capacity in Africa as part of a retention strategy for faculty of medical and nursing schools and clinical professors. The nine HEPI awards are complemented by one award for an African Association for Health Professions Education and Research, which acts as a convening and networking entity across all medical and nursing schools in Africa. The new initiatives work in collaboration with State Department's Global AIDS Coordinator.
