As part of NIST's response to the 2023 TRANQ Research Act, we have started a series of workshop to better understand the current states and needs surrounding drug detection, analysis, and monitoring from the perspective of different stakeholder communities.
Last year, a workshop was hosted to identify the analytical and data challenges surrounding drug detection and identification. This workshop intends to continue this discussion by focusing on challenges and strategies to increased data standardization and data sharing in this space. The specific goals of this workshop are:
1) Capture the current state of illicit drug data (what types of data exist, where and how is data being stored and shared, what questions are people asking of the data, etc.).
2) Identify the challenges to data sharing.
3) Imagine how missions could be enhanced or advanced through increased data sharing.
4) Develop a roadmap towards increased data sharing and data standardization.
The workshop will be highly interactive and will require active participation from everyone involved.
