Overview
NITRD accomplishes its technical coordination responsibilities primarily through Interagency Working Groups (IWGs) and Teams where agency representatives meet on a regular basis to exchange information and collaborate on R&D plans and activities related to their specific topic area. These activities include the facilitation of speaker series, workshops, and other inter-agency events, as well as the creation of strategic plans, frameworks, reports, presentations, and cross-agency project and testing-facility inventories. Such activities enable agencies to coordinate and focus their R&D resources on important, shared problems with the common goal of discovering, developing, and delivering new technological solutions for practical use. IWGs also help cultivate a vibrant scientific and intellectual community in which researchers across various agencies, disciplines, and sectors share the information and ideas that drive innovation.
