The mission of the NICHD OCM is to promote customer service excellence by providing specialized committee management expertise and product quality to advisory committee clients at the NIH and DHHS.

The Office is committed to providing consistent and knowledgeable interpretation and administration of laws, policies, and regulations governing the utilization of chartered advisory committees.

In providing this committed service, the OCM ensures that its clients receive the highest quality administration of the laws, regulations, and policies governing federal advisory committees. This, in turn, guarantees compliance with the letter of the law and prevents any challenge to committee recommendations or decisions.
