INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH for Federal Statistics
As part of its new Digital Government program, the National Science Foundation (NSF) requested that the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) undertake an in-depth study of how information technology research and development could more effectively support advances in the use of information technology (IT) in government. CSTB’s Committee on Computing and Communications Research to Enable Better Use of Information Technology in Government was established to orga- nize two specific application-area workshops and conduct a broader study, drawing in part on those workshops, of how IT research can enable improved and new government services, operations, and interactions with citizens. The committee was asked to identify ways to foster interaction among computing and communications researchers, federal managers, and pro- fessionals in specific domains that could lead to collaborative research efforts. By establishing research links between these communities and creating collaborative mechanisms aimed at meeting relevant require- ments, NSF hopes to stimulate thinking in the computing and communi- cations research community and throughout government about possibilities for advances in technology that will support a variety of digital initiatives by the government.
