The National Science and Technology Council’s Research and Development Infrastructure Subcommittee is leading a comprehensive assessment of the United States’ standing in global research and development infrastructure, drawing on inputs from academic institutions, Department of Energy benchmarking studies, and diplomatic evaluations by U.S. embassies. The effort aims to identify gaps and opportunities in the nation’s infrastructure landscape and to formulate strategic recommendations for federal agencies to strengthen their positioning amid intensifying global technology competition. Science writers from the national laboratory system, supported by the Department of Energy, will assist in the analysis, while STPI will provide critical contextual expertise, including access to classified information, to ensure the report reflects broader federal equities beyond the Department of Energy’s scope. Additional working groups are addressing equity in workforce development for infrastructure operations and the evolving computational demands of the national lab system, focusing on building diverse, inclusive teams and modernizing data infrastructure. These activities are coordinated under the RDI executive secretary, with STPI providing sustained administrative and analytical support throughout the process. The initiative will conclude with a White House-hosted launch event between January and March 2024, aimed at elevating the national priority of RDI, emphasizing the necessity of international collaboration, workforce diversity, and the societal benefits of maintaining world-class research facilities.

Full Description

The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Research and Development Infrastructure (RDI) Subcommittee (SC) co-chairs are conducting an assessment of the U.S. competitive position on research and development infrastructure. Guided by recent reports from academic organizations, the Department of Energy Office of Science¿s international benchmarking exercises, and the State Department¿s recent demarche requesting that U.S. embassies assess future research and development infrastructure plans in host countries, the RDI will assess the current position of the United States and make recommendations on how agencies should position themselves in the context of the global technology competition. The assessment will be assisted by science writers, supported by the Department of Energy, from our national laboratory system. STPI support is necessary to provide additional context, including from classified sources, on U.S. capabilities and to help ensure the document covers equities beyond those in the U.S. Department of Energy. Additional activities of the RDI include those undertaken by the Human Centered Infrastructure working group, which is hoping to build recommendations for RDIs (which are frequently government owned, company operated) to build more equitable and diverse teams, as well as a new Data Infrastructure working group intended to answer the complex computing needs required by our system of national laboratories. STPI would provide ongoing support for these activities, as well, through its assistance to the RDI executive secretary. These activities should culminate in a White House-hosted launch event for the report, taking place sometime between January and March, 2024. It will provide an opportunity to highlight the importance of research and development infrastructure in the context of the global competition, focusing on critical infrastructure needs in the RDI space, highlighting the need to build diverse teams and international partnerships, while also underscoring the societal value of these facilities and capabilities.
