National Strategy for Information Sharing Release

Information Sharing Surveys

Each survey will provide you with background information on that particular agency's information sharing related project, including funding resources, hardware and software vendors utilized for that project as well as contact information for the individual who worked on the project. Some of the surveys may appear in other categories because they deal with various technologies and are not just limited to information sharing.
