The long-awaited follow-up review of the NITRD program — the first since the 1999 PITAC report Investing in Our Future — has been released and is available from the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy.

• Address demand for IT professionals
• More, long, riskier research
• Give priority to R&D connected with the physical world
• More planning for NITRD
