The annual NITRD Program Supplement to the President’s Budget provides a technical summary of NITRD research investments and activities planned and coordinated through the NITRD Program in a given Federal budget cycle. Budget information for the entire span of the NITRD Program, mirroring that reported in the annual Supplements, is captured in visual and interactive forms in the NITRD Dashboard.

INNOVATE - COORDINATE - LEAD

Coordination Areas

NITRD Program’s member agencies coordinate their NITRD research activities and plans by Program Component Areas (PCAs). For each PCA, agency representatives meet in an Interagency Working Group to exchange information and collaborate on research plans and activities such as testbeds, workshops, and cooperative solicitations.

Investments

The budget reporting and technical program summaries are organized by NITRD Program Component Areas (PCAs). The Supplement provides NITRD members’ budget reporting for the most recently completed budget cycle, the current budget cycle, and the budget requests for the next fiscal year. Budget information for the entire span of the NITRD Program, mirroring that reported in the annual Supplements, is captured in visual and interactive forms in the NITRD Dashboard.

R&D Resources

R&D RESOURCES: Dashboard, Libraries and Resource Guides, Federal programs, interagency collaboration opportunities, and other activities that support research and development, facilitate collaboration and coordination between member agencies, academia, industry, and other government entities.

National Preparedness Month: Class Is in Session

(September 8, 2023)
S&T is celebrating National Preparedness Month this year by offering a “back to school” toolkit. The Advanced Open/Obstructed Test Proctor Course for Evaluating Drone Capabilities and Remote Pilot Proficiency uses a suite of standardized test methods developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It consists of 24 hours of classroom and hands-on flight instruction to “train the trainer,” so newly certified proctors can take what they’ve learned back to their home agencies and subsequently certify their drone operators. The First Aid for Severe Trauma education program helps mitigate potential tragedy by empowering high school students with the training needed to treat bleeding emergencies until an ambulance can arrive. The Person-Borne Explosives Detection Canine Training Guideline is an interactive, HTML-based tool for handlers and trainers of explosive detection canines to upgrade their capabilities. S&T’s Technologically Speaking podcast gives a deep dive into the science of homeland security in a matter of minutes so tune in for season three this fall.
