As the Congress provides funds towards new research initiatives, ARS will identify the best opportunities to apply research expertise and capacity towards developing impactful technologies that meet the needs of industry. To accomplish this, ARS will conduct research communication and coordination activities with stakeholders, other government agencies, universities and non-governmental organizations. These funds will also support the acquisition of data, information and or analyses that inform research direction and prioritization.
