NITRD NewsLetter - January 2018

Welcome to the January 2018 issue of the NITRD Leads IT quarterly newsletter of the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program. "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).

National Privacy Research Strategy

On July 1, NITRD released the National Privacy Research Strategy. Research agencies across government participated in the development of the strategy, reviewing existing Federal research activities in privacy-enhancing technologies, soliciting inputs from the private sector, and identifying priorities for privacy research funded by the Federal Government. The National Privacy Research Strategy calls for research along a continuum of challenges, from how people understand privacy in different situations and how their privacy needs can be formally specified, to how these needs can be addressed, to how to mitigate and remediate the effects when privacy expectations are violated.

Report on Privacy Research within NITRD

The Presidents Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) 20131 and 20102 reviews of the Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program3 have identified challenges to personal privacy in the digital era as a significant impairment undermining societal benefits from large-scale deployments of networking and IT (NIT) systems. Consequently, PCAST has called upon federal research agencies to create a multi-agency initiative focused on developing scientific and engineering foundations for protecting privacy, which could then be the basis for new technologies and solutions in this space. In August 2013 and in February 2014, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued two Requests For Information (RFI) to NITRD on privacy research activities pursued by the agencies in NITRD, to understand what research is taking place, and to explore a possible multi-agency research agenda in foundations of privacy. This report summarizes current research in privacy within NITRD.
