See www.nitrd.gov for much more information; I particularly invite you to note the breadth of the areas where NITRD is coordinating federal agency activities. On the NCO, see https://www.nitrd.gov/about/#NITRD-NATIONAL-COORDINATION-OFFICE-NCO
Every year, NITRD publishes a supplement to the President’s budget which summarizes investments in high performance computing and communication. This year, they’ve also included an additional document covering Cybersecurity R&D investments and implementation. See
The Networking & Information Technology Research & Development Program Supplement to the President’s FY2022 Budget: https://www.nitrd.gov/pubs/FY2022-NITRD-NAIIO-Supplement.pdf
FY2022 Federal Cybersecurity R&D Strategic Plan Implementation Roadmap: https://www.nitrd.gov/pubs/FY2022-Cybersecurity-RD-Roadmap.pdf
Finally, I just want to share a note that NITRD included when announcing these materials.
“New this year, and in response to the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act (NAIIA) of 2020, this Supplement provides the status of R&D investments and activities in support of the NAIIA, including details of the National AI Research Institutes. The National AI Research Institutes, formed among multidimensional partnerships of public and private entities, address sector-specific or cross-cutting challenges (e.g., trustworthiness) and translate the research into products, applications, and services. ”
I hope you find these materials helpful, and that they’ll give the great work of NITRD a little more visibility in the CNI community.
