Big Data

The Big Data Senior Steering Group (BD SSG) works to facilitate and further the goals of the White House Big Data R&D Initiative.
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)
The CPS SSG is to coordinate programs, budgets, and policy recommendations for Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) research and development (R&D). This includes identifying and integrating requirements, conducting joint program planning, and developing joint strategies for the CPS R&D programs conducted by agency members of the NITRD Subcommittee.
Cyber Security and Information Assurance (CSIA)
Cyber Security and Information Assurance (CSIA) Interagency Working Group coordinates the activities of the CSIA Program Component Area.
Health IT R&D SSG
The Health Information Technology Research and Development Senior Steering Group coordinates programs, budgets and policy recommendations for Health IT R&D.
Human Computer Interaction & Information Management (HCI&IM)
HCI&IM focuses on information interaction, integration, and management research to develop and measure the performance of new technologies.
High Confidence Software & Systems (HCSS)
HCSS R&D supports development of scientific foundations and enabling software and hardware technologies for the engineering, verification and validation, assurance, and certification of complex, networked, distributed computing systems and cyber-physical systems (CPS).
High End Computing
(HEC IWG)
The HEC IWG coordinates the activities of the High End Computing (HEC) Infrastructure and Applications (I&A) and HEC Research and Development (R&D) Program Component Areas (PCAs).
Large Scale Networking
(LSN CG)
LSN members coordinate Federal agency networking R&D in leading-edge networking technologies, services, and enhanced performance.
Software Design and Productivity (SDP CG)
SDP R&D will lead to fundamental advances in concepts, methods, techniques, and tools for software design, development, and maintenance that can address the needs of Federal agencies and society.
Social, Economic, and Workforce Implications of IT and IT Workforce Development
the SEW CG coordinates the activities of the Social, Economic and Workforce Implications of Information Technology (IT) and IT Workforce Program Component Area (PCA).
Wireless Spectrum Research and Development (WSRD)
The Wireless Spectrum R&D (WSRD) Senior Steering Group (SSG) has been formed to coordinate spectrum-related research and development activities across the Federal government.

Overview

In January 2008, the President initiated the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative. One of the goals of the CNCI is to develop "leap-ahead" technologies that would achieve orders-of-magnitude improvements in cybersecurity. Based on this directive, a NITRD Senior Steering Group for Cybersecurity R&D was established to provide a responsive and robust conduit for cybersecurity R&D information across the policy, fiscal, and research levels of the Government. The SSG is composed of senior representatives of agencies with national cybersecurity leadership positions, including: DoD, ODNI, DHS, NSA, NSF, NIST, OSTP, and OMB. A principal responsibility of the SSG is to define, coordinate, and recommend strategic Federal R&D objectives in cybersecurity, and to communicate research needs and proposed budget priorities to policy makers and budget officials, including recommendations to OSTP, OMB, and the Joint Inter-Agency Cyber Task Force (JIACTF).
