CILT is a distributed organization located at SRI International, the University of California at Berkeley, Vanderbilt University, and the Concord Consortium in Massachusetts. The primary funding for CILT is a new five-year grant from the National Science Foundation. Participants drawn from both from the founding organizations and other leading organizations will provide the best possible mix of expertise. Theme teams will include experts in technology from natural science, computer science, engineering, education, policy, as well as industry leaders. Participants will work together in national workshops and online discussions to review their research results, identify critical challenges and potential breakthroughs in their theme area, and select prototype collaborative projects for CILT sponsorship.
