The National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and Information
Technology Research and Development (NITRD) supports the planning,
budget, and assessment activities for the Federal government's NITRD
Program.  The NCO works closely with the Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP) and the Office of Management and Budget in the
Executive Office of the President on NITRD policy and budget issues. The
Director of the NCO is appointed by the Director of OSTP. This
acknowledgment demonstrates that electronic records issues continue to
be recognized as top research and development priorities at the highest
levels of the US Government.

The NITRD Program, chartered by Federal law, is the primary mechanism by
which the Government coordinates its unclassified networking and
information technology (IT) research and development (R&D) investments.
Thirteen Federal agencies, including all of the large science and
technology agencies, are formal members of the NITRD Program, whose
combined 2007 IT R&D budgets totaled more than $3 billion. Many other
Federal organizations also participate in NITRD activities.

These agencies work together to develop a broad spectrum of advanced
networking and IT capabilities to power Federal missions; U.S. science,
engineering, and technology leadership; and U.S. economic
competitiveness. Their efforts increase the overall effectiveness and
productivity of Federal networking and IT R&D investments, leveraging
strengths, avoiding duplication, and increasing interoperability of
networking and IT R&D products.
