Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) received a $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to organize and conduct a collaborative workshop titled "US Advancing Leadership in Global Networking Standards" (US-ALIGNS). The workshop, awarded February 15, 2026 with completion by January 31, 2027, serves as a strategic forum bringing together academia, government, and private sector stakeholders to address the United States' diminishing influence in international networking standards bodies such as the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The primary deliverable is a comprehensive workshop designed to facilitate strategic alignment and coordination on global networking standards, particularly for next-generation technologies including 5G/6G, cloud/edge computing, and artificial intelligence-driven network management. The workshop aims to strengthen U.S. competitive positioning by reducing market entry barriers, spurring domestic innovation in supporting industries (cloud computing, semiconductors, artificial intelligence infrastructure, and telecommunications), and broadening participation from underrepresented stakeholder groups including startups, subject matter experts, academia, and open-source communities. An additional objective is to establish a national standards coordination framework that synchronizes research and development priorities, spectrum policy, and procurement strategies with international standards development efforts.Federal Grant Award Summary
