CCRHE is sponsored by the National Science Foundation under the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems.

The Division of Information and Intelligent Systems strives to increase the ability to use information for human ends by supporting research to improve the ability to generate, store, organize, locate, communicate, and store knowledge using new technologies. This recognizes that high quality content, its accessibility, and its usability are important benefits provided by new technology, and are complementary to bandwidth and disk space. Fundamental research foci include universal access, human language technology, knowledge modeling, scientific collaboratories, robotics, computer vision, data mining, database access technology, human-computer interaction, and embedded intelligent systems. IIS supports interdisciplinary and interagency activities such as the Digital Library and STIMULATE (Speech, Text, Image, and Multimedia Advanced Technology Effort) initiatives.
