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.

WSRD Workshop on 5G Software, Use and Practice

The Wireless Spectrum R&D Interagency Working Group (WSRD IWG) under the Networking and Information Technology R&D Program (NITRD) held a mini-workshop on March 4th to understand open source implementations of 5G protocol stacks and their use in government 5G Testbeds and field applications. Vendors and Projects with open source 5G protocol stack implementations – either in development or deployed – were invited to provide a short briefing in the morning session to the WSRD IWG on their products, concepts and applications. The IWG members met later in the afternoon to review what they heard and talk about their use of open source 5G stacks.
