Federal Clients
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) partnered with NTIS to study alternatives for a homeland security scientific and technical information (STI) clearinghouse. This partnership will enable DHS to benefit from the experience of NTIS and 12 other Federal agencies that comprise CENDI, an interagency working group of senior scientific and technical information managers.
NTIS will assist DHS by conducting research and preparing a study of clearinghouse alternatives to include:
- Identifying CENDI best practices and lessons learned
- Evaluating strengths and weaknesses of the current DHS system for managing homeland security STI
- Recommending a solution for improving access to this STI
