Section 1: Use Case Identifiers

Use Case ID: HHS-NIH-00070
Agency: HHS
Op Div/Staff Div: NIH
Use Case Topic Area: Government Services (includes Benefits and Service Delivery)
Is the AI use case found in the below list of general commercial AI products and services?
None of the above.
What is the intended purpose and expected benefits of the AI?
The goal is to generate justifications for personnel actions including appointments, conversions, pay adjustments, and hiring/retention incentives for physicians, scientists, and veterinarians.

Within NIAID DIR, we have team that drafts justifications for personnel actions based on the research being performed. This tool will be created to help them quickly and effectively prepare justifications for personnel actions for investigators in specific research fields.
Describe the AI system's outputs.
Inputs: scientific publications, CV/Bib, BSC submissions and outcome memos, prior justifications, and, clinical protocols.

Outputs: Scientific summary.
Stage of Development: Implementation and Assessment
Is the AI use case rights-impacting, safety-impacting, both, or neither?
Neither
