Executive Office

The NIDDK Executive Office (EO) is the focal point for the Institute’s administrative infrastructure and functions. The office provides strategic leadership, direction, oversight and consultation on critical business and management operations in support of the NIDDK mission, and oversees administrative management, financial management, acquisitions, property, purchasing, ethics, information technology, and workforce development and engagement. It also develops and implements administrative policies, procedures, and risk management programs.

Vision

The vision of the Executive Office is to build bridges and to partner with the scientists; to be a high-functioning, problem solving team so that when our customers come to us with a problem, they know it will be taken care of immediately.

Core Values

The Executive Office is guided by the following core values:

• Integrity: Upholds unwavering integrity, honesty, and ethical standards in every interaction and decision. Is transparent, accountable, and open to feedback, fostering a culture of trust and honesty.
• Collaboration: Fosters a collaborative environment that leverages the collective strengths and expertise of our team, partners, and stakeholders to achieve shared goals and mutual success. Encourages collaboration across departments and teams, promoting knowledge-sharing and collective problem-solving.
• Respect: Treats every individual with dignity, empathy, and respect, honoring their worth and recognizing the value they bring to the team and the organization. Encourages open dialogue and respect for diverse perspectives.
• Transparency: Operates with transparency and openness, providing clear information and insights into decision-making processes, practices, and outcomes. Fosters a culture of transparency by sharing information openly and seeking input from all stakeholders.
• Sustainability: Balances today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. Incorporates practices that protect the environment, ensure fairness, and support economic well-being (i.e., resource management, long-term planning, creating efficiencies, resilience), to build a strong and enduring community for the future.

The Executive Office is dedicated in both spirit and action to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Civility (IDEA-C) and works to create and sustain a culture where all have the tools and resources to do their job and flourish, where creativity and innovation are rewarded, where there are standards and accountabilities, and where the environment is community-focused, diverse, inclusive, and respectful.
