NTIA Liaison Project Updates

About Session

The NTIA Liaison Projects work to enhance collaboration between the NSF SpectrumX center and the NTIA by overcoming organizational siloing present within academia and government agencies. Ultimately, this project aims to pilot new ways that academic institutions can productively partner with federal agencies in the future.

In this session, the participating researchers will provide updates on their ongoing Liaison Projects.
