As National Women’s History Month enters its final week, the National Coordination Office (NCO) acknowledges the women of the Peraton Team whose talent, expertise, and dedication make the success of the Networking and Information R&D (NITRD) program possible. Whether it is facilitating meetings, preparing reports, writing documents, or coordinating with our Federal Agency members or the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, this group of women exemplify the core values that make the NCO a catalyst for the NITRD community.

The collective experience of this group of women spans the last 20 years and 10 NCO Directors. They support the NITRD Program by providing technical expertise, planning and coordination, and by serving as the Program’s central point of contact. Their mission is to foster collaboration, exchange of information, and outreach that provides the knowledge, methods, R&D, technology transfer, and innovation for U.S. global leadership in networking and information technology and its applications.
The NCO supports the NITRD Subcommittee, which coordinates the NITRD Program, and the Interagency Working Groups (IWGs) that report to the Subcommittee.
