From Data to Decisions: AI and the Future of Federal Research Intelligence

Federal agencies are managing large, complex research funding portfolios, and tracking how that funding translates into publications, patents, policy outcomes, international collaborations, and more is only part of the challenge. The harder part is turning all of that information into insight agencies can act on. That's where artificial intelligence comes in: it's changing how agencies discover expertise, evaluate research investments, measure scientific impact, track emerging technologies, and assess research security risks.

Used well, AI doesn't replace human judgment. It helps research leaders surface insights faster, ask sharper questions, and make more confident strategic decisions.

Join government leaders and Digital Science experts for a practical conversation on deploying AI for research intelligence: portfolio strategy, impact assessment, collaborator vetting, and safeguarding federally funded innovation.

Attendees will learn:

• How AI-driven insights support sharper strategic planning and portfolio management
• How AI helps connect publications, patents, clinical trials, and policy outcomes to reveal impact beyond traditional metrics
• How AI is changing the way agencies discover experts and identify collaborators
• How AI helps agencies spot emerging technologies and research trends within large, complex datasets
• Where AI can support due diligence and research security, and the governance principles needed to keep those decisions transparent and trustworthy
