The Federal agencies whose fundamental information technology (IT) research is described in this document sponsored many of the scientific breakthroughs that set the foundations for the information age (see timeline on front-cover foldout). Working collaboratively in the multiagency Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program these agencies continue to foster an unrivalled U.S. capacity for innovation - the Nation's most vital resource for national security, economic development and continuous improvements in living standards for all Americans.
