The interagency working group shall— by not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this division— conduct an initial review of Federal programs and resources with respect to the key technology focus areas identified pursuant to section 2005(a), in order to— assess current level of efforts and characterize existing research infrastructure, as of the date of the review; identify potential areas of overlap or duplication with respect to the key technology focus areas; and identify potential cross-agency collaborations and joint funding opportunities; and submit a report regarding the review described in subparagraph
(A)to Congress; and seek stakeholder input and recommendations in the course of such review; and shall carry out the annual reviews and updates required under section 2005. If any conflicts between Federal agencies arise while carrying out the activities under this section, the President shall make the final decision regarding resolution of the conflict.
