On September 18th, 2012, members of the STI Program Office met with visitors from the (South) Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI - http://en.kisti.re.kr/) to discuss their respective operations. The visit was part of a KISTI benchmarking tour of three US government agencies—National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Education (DoEd), and NASA. The agenda covered organizational history; collection objectives, size, and coverage; utilization of new technologies and approaches; and, policy administration.

KISTI collects, and builds information DB on state-of-the-art science and technology which are the core part in the research and development.
