Associate Chief Information Officer
The Office of the Associate Chief Information Officer (ACIO) provides the critical information management and technology (IMT) foundation for the US Geological Survey (USGS) science mission.
This is accomplished by implementing advances in IMT capabilities and using them to facilitate research, data gathering, analysis and modeling, scientific collaboration, knowledge management, and work processes. ACIO oversees a broad suite of activities that support information discovery and delivery and ensures the collection, storage, sharing, preservation, and publication of scientific data according to Federal laws and regulations. Additionally, ACIO leads critical initiatives such as the Department of Interior (DOI) Federal IT Acquisitions Reform Act (FITARA) and cloud hosting for the USGS.
