Most of the program highlighted the NDF Workgroups that represent the core of NDF operations and are the source of the organization's value. NDF workgroup members can gain insight and participate in industry-leading projects by sharing their expertise across this global community. Current workgroups are:
Climate change increases the possibility of more droughts and stronger hurricanes more likely. This trend is one of several factors contributing to Maui’s wildfires. This workgroup would explore using a DAO as a post-natural disaster small business recovery engine. The DAO would serve as an SBIR/STTR Incubator for small businesses in climate-related disaster-prone areas. This would accelerate regional economic recovery, spur job growth, and support long-term community sustainment.
The scientific publishing industry (peer-reviewed publishing) is a $28 billion-a-year industry. The scientific authors don’t get paid, the reviewers don’t get paid, only the publishers. The DeSci working group would develop a digital asset financial incentive model that targets California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) grants for scientific authors and reviewers. The workgroup would initially support research and development of treatments for diseases and conditions of the brain and central nervous system but would be extensible to other research areas.

Businesses, governments, and every individual depend on data. While information access and sharing are part of our everyday lives, very few treat it as an essential digital asset. The rise of identity theft, ransomware attacks, electronic fraud, and e-commerce theft proves the fallacy of this attitude. The secure information-sharing workgroup will explore how blockchain can improve information-sharing security.
Digital assets can streamline use cases that involve international commerce. With this in mind, the SWP will explore the many and varied use cases that operate at the intersection of digital assets and space manufacturing. The workgroup will include NSF, NASA, the Space Force, the Defense Innovation Unit, other agencies, the private sector, innovators, and academic institutions in joint activities to accelerate the commercial space industry.
