TITLE:
Statistics and a Digital Government for the 21st Century

ABSTRACT:

The Interagency Council for Statistical Policy and the Federal Information Services and Applications Council sponsor a Federal Statistics Team (http://www.hpcc.gov/cicrd/#organization).  The team focuses on fostering
research that will further our goal of creating a National Statistical Information Infrastructure.  Over the last few years, we have established partnerships with a number of academic researchers who have competed for
research grants from NSF's Digital Government program.  In the first year of   the program, NSF awarded about $4M to proposers who will work with the Federal statistical agencies.  Additional opportunities for collaboration exist with NSF's Partners for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI).

In this session, we will give a brief description of our vision for a National Statistical Information Infrastructure, discuss the aims of the Digital Government and PACI programs, and provide details on the projects underway and under review at NSF.

* Dr. Dippo is an Assistant Commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics
