Objectives:
Serve as the Federal focal point for interagency technical planning, budget planning, and coordination for the Federal NITRD Program
Serve as a source of timely, high-quality, technically accurate, in-depth information on accomplishments, new directions, and critical challenges for the NITRD Program
Support NITRD-related policy making in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)

Characteristics
should speak to policy and decision makers, conveying a sense of the exciting opportunities and broad societal benefits of NIT R&D;
must embrace and support the individual strategic plans of the NITRD agencies; and
should present a compelling vision articulated through a small number of broad themes
The Strategic Plan:

Trust and Confidence
Cyber Capable
Cyber Capable
Education and training to ensure that current generations benefit fully from cyber capabilities and to inspire a diverse, next-generation workforce of cyber innovators.
Global Classroom
Computational Thinking
Conceptualizing, not programming
Fundamental, not rote skill
A way that humans, not computers, think
Complements and combines mathematical and engineering
Ideas, not artifacts
For everyone, everywhere

Trust and Confidence
Ensure the value to society of cyber systems is not limited by a lack of trust and confidence; assure that data and resources can be reliably used for their intended purposes.
The National Cyber Range will allow classified and unclassified researchers to measure their progress …
…in either a classified or unclassified environment,
…against appropriate threats with sufficient timeliness and accuracy,
…to allow corrections and needed new capabilities to be determined.
The National Cyber Range will Provide a dedicated test bed to produce qualitative
and quantitative assessments of the security of cyber technologies and scenarios.
Provide a revolutionary, safe, instrumented environment for our national cyber security research organizations to test the security of information systems.
Revolutionize the state of the art of cyber security testing.
We Compute
Harness new levels of intelligence, intuition and awareness emerging as greater than the sum of the parts in the union of cyber, human, and social capabilities
