As Women’s History Month heads into its third week, the National Coordinating Office for Networking and Information Research and Development (NITRD) continues its series on celebrating the Women in NITRD. Previously we have focused on our current membership; this week we look back and celebrate the many women who stepped up and took on important leadership roles in the past. All these women are remarkably intelligent and talented. They have contributed in their fields of study starting at a variety of prestigious universities and moved on to demanding careers in academia, industry, and the Federal government. We thank them for the time they spent at NITRD, and we invite you to learn more about them.

As part of our Women’s History Month series on celebrating the Women in NITRD, the National Coordinating Office for Networking and Information Research and Development (NITRD) would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the many women leaders and members of our Interagency Working Groups (IWG).
The IWG’s are the foundation of NITRD’s impact. They meet regularly to cultivate a vibrant scientific and intellectual environment in which researchers from various agencies, disciplines, and sectors share ideas, information, and results. This communication leads to economic and engineering benefits, enables collaborative research, and speeds the overall pace of innovation within the entire Federal R&D community.

The National Coordinating Office for Networking and Information Research and Development (NITRD) proudly announces #WomenInNITRD to recognize the women in our organization who strengthen the Federal science and technology research organizations through their leadership, passion, and fortitude. This webpage is being launched as part of National Women's History Month, which traces its origins back to women protesting for better working conditions in 1857, the advent of the International Women's Day in 1909, and National Women's History Week established by Congress in 1981 (P.L. No: 97-28) and expanded in 1987 (P.L. No: 100-9) to the month of March.

Since July 2016, the Big Data Interagency Working Group (BD IWG) has been involved in meetings to discuss the viability of and possible first steps to creating a national public-private data network infrastructure, the Open Knowledge Network (OKN). The goal is to develop an easily accessible knowledge infrastructure that can facilitate and empower a host of applications and new research avenues for the public, private, and academic sectors.
On October 4–5, 2017, the Big Data IWG hosted a workshop to bring together Federal, industry, and academic stakeholders to discuss issues related to advancing a national-scale OKN. Workshop breakout sessions discussed OKN issues for a horizontal, technological domain and for four specific vertical domains: biomedicine, geosciences, finance, and smart manufacturing. Workshop participants noted that an effective OKN would drive the next wave of artificial intelligence breakthroughs, transform domains ranging from scientific research to commercial applications, and enable services such as recommendation systems, translation systems, social media services, and intelligent search agents. The "Open Knowledge Network: Summary of the Big Data IWG Workshop" report summarizes the workshop discussions.
