Welcome to the October 2018 issue of the NITRD Leads IT quarterly newsletter of the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program.
“I am thrilled to be the NITRD NCO Director! I have participated in NITRD for many years, leading involvement from my home agency, NIST, where I have also been honored to work directly with several past NITRD Directors… We have come a long way, but there is still much to do. Everyone wins when we have an inclusive image of a STEM professional as we will increase the talent pool, foster critical STEM skills among the broader community, and promote a healthier, more culturally-sensitive workplace. An inclusive workforce provides a rich set of perspectives that enable innovation and creative discovery…” – Ms. Kamie Roberts (Director of the National Coordination Office for Networking and Information).
“Serving as NITRD NCO Director for the past two years has reinforced my appreciation of the importance of Federal IT R&D in addressing the challenges and pursuing the opportunities of advancing IT. I am also reminded that new challenges and opportunities always lie ahead. One challenge and opportunity is particularly clear as I prepare to return to NASA: the need to purposefully move our innovations across the technology “valley of death” – the gap between positive research results and usable solutions that benefit our agencies and Nation…” – Dr. Bryan Biegel (Director of the National Coordination Office for Networking and Information).…
“Artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived – driverless cars, home and mobile assistants, real-time traffic routing, advising systems for everything from stock markets to healthcare, helpdesk chatbots, and more. Rapid AI advancements are enabled by technologies that NITRD agencies helped create, including powerful and pervasive networked computing and sensors, big data, and machine learning (ML) algorithms…” – Dr. Bryan Biegel (Director of the National Coordination Office for Networking and Information).
“The NITRD Program will be essential in helping our Nation achieve a brighter future through advances in information technology (IT). Evidence of this is seen in past Federal IT R&D, which led to technologies that help us today (e.g. the Internet, Global Positioning System, and smartphone assistants). Current Federal IT R&D is creating a world of personalized learning, personalized healthcare, and computers capable of answering any technical question… The U.S. government has a decades-long record of helping to achieve a brighter future with advanced IT through two roles: leading the world’s IT advancement through aggressive funding of IT R&D, and leading the use of IT for social good, as evidenced by recent NITRD area strategic plans, which seek societal interests as well as technology advancement…” – Dr. Bryan Biegel (Director of the National Coordination Office for Networking and Information).”
