Scalable Information Infrastructure Program
Use Internet2 class networking, wireless,
biometrics and the Global Information Systems to
investigate (1) the scalability of key
applications, (2) the ability to share essential
information across multiple organizations and
(3) the ability to access rich sets of clinical,
public health and surveillance data to gain new
knowledge for improving responses to future
threats.

Successful Risk Mitigation Strategies
Types of Risk
Mitigation Strategies
Examples
Intellectual Fragmentation

• Integrating Sentinel into core activities

• Representation from each institution on projects

• Maintaining intellectual cohesiveness and
  fostering productive relationships internally as
  well as externally

• In depth exchange of ideas (e.g., OCTAVE)
• Collaboration Tools
• Subproject meetings

• Providing a nimble, flexible and responsive
  management structure

Contractual Failure

• Program director and PIs for overall
• PI for each project

• Providing appropriate mechanisms to monitor
  progress and deliver results

• Periodic internal audit with deliverables,
  timelines and milestones achieved
