On behalf of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the NITRD Program is seeking public input for the creation of a National Digital Twins R&D Strategic Plan. The Plan will act as an organizing national document, providing guidance for government investments in digital twins related research and offering valuable insights to help guide further federal R&D coordination to advance technology and accelerate the use and early adoption of the digital twin models to address the nation’s priorities and fast-track agency missions. The Plan is scheduled to be released in mid to late 2025. Comments are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on July 28, 2024. Please contact Melissa Cornelius at DigitalTwins-ftacRFI@nitrd.gov if you have any questions.

The Digital Health R&D (DHRD) Interagency Working Group (IWG) was formed in 2010 as the Health Information Technology R&D IWG to coordinate Federal R&D for improving medical, functional, and public health outcomes across 15 participating agencies. Guided by the four fundamental challenges described in the Federal Health Information Technology Research & Development Strategic Framework, the IWG advances R&D by coordinating agency plans and activities, promoting collaborations, and providing a forum for exchanging information and articulating R&D needs to policy-makers and decision-makers.
