To inform a community strategy for building and maintaining U.S. leadership in software engineering and AI engineering, the Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (CMU SEI) and the Software Productivity, Sustainability, and Quality (SPSQ) Interagency Working Group co-hosted the workshop at the National Science Foundation from June 20th to the 21st, 2023…
On behalf of Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the NITRD National Coordination Office seeks public input for the creation of a National Plan for Cyber-Physical Systems Resilience Research (the Plan). The goal of the plan is to shape a whole-of-government research and development (R&D) plan related to cyber-physical resilience across systems that may be local, regional, or national in scope. As defined in the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) Report, Strategy for Cyber-Physical Resilience: Fortifying Our Critical Infrastructure for a Digital World, cyber-physical systems are defined as physical systems that rely on computing technologies for sensing, analysis, tracking, controls, connectivity, coordination, and human-system interaction. The National Climate Resilience Framework defines resilience as the ability to prepare for threats and hazards, adapt to changing conditions, and withstand and recover rapidly from adverse conditions and disruptions. From the perspective of the RFI, the system recovery period and performance are acceptable from a social and technical perspective. These definitions will be used for the purposes of this RFI, but respondents are welcome to provide alternate definitions if cyber-physical systems have a different meaning in their industry or field, along with the scientific rationale for specific use-cases. The Plan is scheduled to be released in 2025.
The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program, the nation’s primary source of federally funded research and development (R&D) in advanced information technologies (IT) in computing, networking, and software, today launched the NITRD Podcast to deliver stories of innovative collaboration within the United States government.
This document reports current trends and examples of federal R&D investments, program information, and activities in AI that directly address the R&D challenges and opportunities noted in the National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan: 2023 Update https://www.nitrd.gov/pubs/National-Artificial-Intelligence-Research-and-Development-Strategic-Plan-2023-Update.pdf
On behalf of Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the NITRD National Coordination Office seeks public input for the creation of a National Digital Twins R&D Strategic Plan. The Plan will act as an organizing national document, providing guidance for government investments in digital twins related research and offering valuable insights to help guide further federal R&D coordination to advance technology and accelerate the use and early adoption of the digital twin models to address the nation’s priorities and fast-track agency missions. The Plan is scheduled to be released in mid to late 2025.
This progress report summarizes investments and activities under each of the FACE strategic objectives and the sub-objectives, as listed in the 2020 Pioneering the Future Advanced Computing Ecosystem: A Strategic Plan. The report also highlights outcomes of selected investments and activities from across the federal agencies.
The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Deputy Director position is a multi-faceted leadership position that helps coordinate the ~$11B annual Federal investment in networking and information technology (IT) research and development.
Pursuant to the Presidential Memorandum on Modernizing United States Spectrum Policy and Establishing a National Spectrum Strategy, November 13, 2023, the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), released a National Spectrum Strategy (Strategy), November 13, 2023. The word “spectrum” in this context refers to the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Strategic Objective 3.2 of the Strategy directs the U.S. Government, through the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and in coordination with the Federal agencies, to develop a National Spectrum Research and Development Plan (R&D Plan). On behalf of OSTP, NITRD NCO sought public input for the creation of the R&D Plan. The RFI was published in the Federal Register on February 20, 2024 (89 FR 12871). The R&D Plan will act as an organizing national document, providing guidance for government investments in spectrum-related research and offering valuable insights. The R&D Plan will identify key innovation areas for spectrum research and development and will include a process to refine and enhance these areas on an ongoing basis.
As directed in the recent National Spectrum Strategy, the NITRD Wireless Spectrum R&D Interagency Working Group (WSRD IWG) is working on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to develop the National Spectrum R&D Plan. This workshop is an opportunity for academia, industry, and the public to engage in dialog with the WSRD IWG authors on the potential content of that plan. Agencies of the WSRD IWG are conducting a workshop as a follow-up to the recent Request for Information (RFI) on the National Spectrum Research and Development Plan in which the NITRD NCO sought public input for the creation of the National Spectrum R&D Plan. The R&D Plan will act as an organizing national document, providing guidance for government investments in spectrum-related research and offering valuable insights. The Plan will identify key innovation areas for spectrum research and development and will include a process to refine and enhance these areas on an ongoing basis. This workshop will provide an opportunity for the RFI respondents and others from academia, industry, and the public to engage in open dialog with the spectrum community and WSRD IWG authors on the potential content of the National Spectrum R&D Plan.
