RE: Potential Speaking Engagement for GLD Chairs - Nov. 3rd CENDI Meeting

Bernadette,

"CENDI's mission is to help improve the productivity of federal science- and technology-based programs through effective scientific, technical, and related information-support systems. In fulfilling its mission, CENDI agencies play an important role in addressing science- and technology-based national priorities and strengthening U.S. competitiveness." - From: http://cendi.gov/index.html

CENDI sponsors/co-sponsors many events throughout the year (http://cendi.gov/activities/index.html).

The CENDI group meets for a full day every other month.  It's federal agency membership (http://cendi.gov/about/members.html) meets to discuss topics of mutual interest and collaborate of information sharing (most notably http://science.gov).

The morning session is usually comprised of informational talks by the host, a "what's new at our agency," and  talks/discussion with invited speakers.  The afternoon is concerned with planning and membership issues.

Our September meeting will focus on metrics and statistics with the following talks and speakers:

"STAR METRICS:  Understanding the Impacts of  our Federal R&D Investment" Dr. Julia Lane, Program Director, Science of Science & Innovation Policy Program, National Science Foundation

"Interaction of STAR METRICS and the R&D Dashboard" Kei Koizumi, Assistant Director for Federal Research and Development, Office of Science and Technology Policy

"Federal Interagency Council on Statistical Policy and SCOPE: Overview and Interconnections with CENDI" Ron Bianchi, Division Director and CIO, Information Services Division, Economic Research Service and Dr. Marilyn Seastrom, Chief Statistician and Program Director of Statistical Standards, National Center for Education Statistics, Department of Education

Hopes this provides some grounding.

Gerald

Hi Gerald,
Thanks for the request.  I'm sure George will respond as well when he returns from holiday next week.  In the meantime, can you provide a bit more background on the meeting.  Who is the target audience, how often does it meet, what is the theme of the meeting on 3-Nov, who are the other speakers that day?  This will help us understand who the best person would be for the talk.  Thanks again.

Cheers,

George, Bernadette,

The November 3rd CENDI (http://cendi.gov) meeting will be hosted by NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, MD.  The agenda is still being formulated, but would either of you be interested in giving a 30-minute pitch on the GLD with discussion after.  Outside speakers are usually schedule for the AM  (We can ply you with all the coffee and breakfast sweets you want as compensation.)
