Technology Policy (OSTP), in partnership with the Subcommittee on 
Networking and Information Technology Research and Development of the 
National Science and Technology Council, initiated an interagency Fast 
Track Action Committee (FTAC), to develop a national strategy to 
advance the research, development, and adoption of privacy-preserving 
data sharing and analytics (PPDSA) technologies The FTAC is holding a 
series of virtual roundtables, open to the public, to provide an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Through the national strategy, the FTAC will 
put forth a vision for responsibly harnessing privacy-preserving data 
sharing and analytics to benefit individuals and society. It will also 
propose actions from research investments, to training and education 
initiatives, to the development of standards, policy, and regulations 
needed to achieve that vision.
    To inform the development of these recommendations, the FTAC is 
arranging virtual roundtables to solicit input from a broad range of 
stakeholders, including representatives from academia, the private 
sector, and civil society. Each roundtable will be organized around a 
particular theme, described below:
    1. Roundtable on Vision: Tuesday, June 7, 2022: 1:00-3:00 p.m. EDT.
    Identification of characteristics of the future state that the 
national strategy should help achieve and guiding definitions and 
principles that the activities under the national strategy should 
follow.
    2. Roundtable on Adoption and Use: Thursday, June 9, 2022: 1:00-
3:00 p.m. EDT.
    Identification of barriers and enablers to adoption and use of 
PPDSA technologies; and, identification of best practices and 
standards, including international considerations.
    3. Roundtable on Technology: Friday, June 10, 2022: 1:00-3:00 p.m. 
EDT.
    Understanding of the current state of PPDSA technologies and 
solutions; and identification of challenges, gaps and priorities in 
PPDSA research and development (R&D).
