It is co-chaired by the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation on a permanent basis and the head of an operating division on a rotating basis. A subcommittee of the HHS Data Council, the Data-Oriented Workforce Subcommittee, is composed of staff from 10 HHS agencies, including the NIH. This subcommittee is charged with developing a high-level work plan to enhance the data science capacity of HHS’ workforce by identifying training opportunities for existing staff, recruitment strategies and tools to hire new staff, and retention and succession planning strategies to sustain the data science workforce.

Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-income Populations requires each Federal agency to “make achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations.” The Executive Order also states that “each Federal agency responsibility set forth under this order shall apply equally to Native American programs.”
