## What is the Directory?

## Document Directory

- Categorizes links to documents that are indexed in the portal.
- Allows users to browse through increasingly more granular categories.
- Displays document hit lists that can be searched using text terms and keywords.

## Deployment Approach

- Phased release by functional area...and later by IC.
- With each functional area release:
- A taxonomy for the functional area will be added to the Document Directory.
- All functional area documents will be linked to categories in the browsable Directory **—** and available also through Search.
- Functional area data, computer systems, and tools will be accessible from portal modules.
- At least two functional area Communities will be deployed with the release.
- IC information will be deployed as time and resources permit.

## Grants Management Community

- Will create an area within the NIH Portal where data, documents, links and other information of specific interest to your community can be assembled.
- Will provide a whiteboard where announcements and meetings and other events of interest can be posted.
- Will allow you to initiate a discussion or post a question that anyone in the community can answer in real time.
- Will support the creation of a community page for orientation of new grants management staff.
- Etc.

## Next Steps

- Decide, as soon as possible, if you’d like to create a Grants Management Community within the NIH Portal.
- Select a Community Manager who will work with the NIH Portal project team **—** and you **—** to determine what we’ll include in your Community area.
- Contact Donna Wicker (301-435-6567) to initiate the process.
