The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) has been tasked with setting up a new Children’s Interagency Coordinating Council (CICC). in December 2022, Congress charged HHS with chairing and establishing the CICC. Congress also indicated that the CICC should foster greater coordination and transparency on child policy across federal agencies and examine and periodically report on a broad array of cross-cutting issues affecting child well-being. HHS is forming the CICC with a structure that promotes interagency engagement at multiple levels of leadership from 10 departments and agencies (including HHS) by creating both a Leadership Team with senior appointees and a Coordinating Committee of senior career leaders from each department/agency. To support and coordinate the efforts of the HHS representatives on the CICC in these interagency discussions, the HHS Internal Advisory Group (HIAG) will inform and advise, as well as serve as a liaison between NICHD and the CICC. |
