Subject: Language & Communication: Request for Information

 
Dear Colleagues,

I am reaching out to share a request for information (RFI) that you may be
interested in responding to from representatives from the Federal Government’s
Interagency Working Group on Language and Communication (IWGLC). The IWGLC
serves as part of the internal deliberative process of the White House Office
of Science and Technology Policy’s National Science and Technology Council
(NSTC). The NSTC is the principal means by which the Executive Branch
coordinates science and technology policy across the Federal Government. A
primary objective of the NSTC is establishing clear national goals for Federal
science and technology investments. The purpose of this RFI is to assist the
IWGLC in its efforts to further improve coordination and collaboration of
research and development (R & D) agendas related to language and communication
across the Federal Government. 

If this is of interest to you, you can find the RFI here:

formation-on-interagency-working-group-on-language-and-communications-report-o
n

Please share this RFI with others that you know in the language and
communication research and development community to ensure that we get a
representative set of responses. 

Thank you.
