Who We Are

What is CENDI? • Interagency group of senior federal STI managers who agree to cooperate by § § Exchanging information and ideas Sharing resources Undertaking joint initiatives From policy to standards to operations • 12 member agencies manage over 97% of the annual federal R&D budget

CENDI Membership An interagency group composed of senior STI managers: • • 12 major programs 4 independent agencies • • 7 cabinet departments 1 legislative branch agency CENDI began with four agencies and took its name from the beginning letter of each member agency: COMMERCE – National Technical Information Service (NTIS) ENERGY – Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) NASA – Scientific and Technical Information Program (STI) DEFENSE – Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) I NFORMATION 5

A Long and Well Established History of STI Cooperation § § § 1960 s-1970 s COSATI organized information, information analysis, and data centers across the federal government • Weinberg report on Science, Government and Information a major impetus (1964) Mid-1970 s, COSATI was dissolved but STI managers continued to meet informally 1984 CENDI was formalized with an MOU of 4 (C, E, N, D) agencies • NLM joined in 1986

Evolving CENDI From 4 to 12 agencies ~ Affinity Areas: National libraries, departmental STI centers, cross cutting information organizations, research funding programs
