This has been an exceptional year for NIST’s Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division. PSCR hosted its first in-person annual Public Safety Broadband Stakeholder Meeting since 2019, closed out the $300 million we received from the Public Safety Trust Fund, opened the doors to the Public Safety Immersive Test Center, and so much more. We would like to thank our stakeholders and readers for your participation in helping us carry out our mission of advancing communications technology to ensure that public safety can more effectively protect lives and property.

NIST PSCR used the $300 million to engage external partners through grants, cooperative agreements and prize challenges in ways never done before in the public safety communications area. We established the Public Safety Innovation Accelerator Program (PSIAP) for stimulating R&D to transform public safety communications capabilities. And because of this, we’ve helped build an entire network of researchers, scientists, innovators, and companies that now consider improving public safety communications as part of their mission. We have seen venture capital funding targeted to some of these for current and future product development, and other products are already on their way to market. This funding allowed us to make a meaningful difference in public safety communications technology research. While the $300M funding from the Public Safety Trust ..
