In progress
This study will look at the future of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF's) advanced technology systems that help scientists and engineers with computing, data management, and networking. It will address challenges like fast-changing technology, growing amounts of data, and increasing use of artificial intelligence. The study will consider how NSF can manage its portfolio of investments, maintain leadership-class capabilities, work with other government agencies, use commercial cloud services, improve data systems, invest in new technologies, support a wide range of users, and develop a workforce to meet future research needs.
