Department of Homeland Security - www.dhs.gov

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) calling for academic white papers that will focus on specific areas related to social science issues. This is the first step in the review process for colleges and universities that would like to be selected as a Homeland Security Center of Excellence (HS-Center). The Department anticipates selecting at least one HS-Center by end of November 2003 and up to nine other HS-Centers by end of 2004. Please see this website for the press release: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/interapp/press_release/press_release_0220.xml

DHS Hosted a One-day R&D Best Practices Workshop for Academia Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) sponsored a one-day workshop to understand from academia how best to work with them in achieving DHS R&D aims. The goal of this workshop was to gather input on best

practices in order to optimize the solicitation, bid, procurement and program execution process.  The meeting was held in Arlington, Virginia on December 15th.  Briefings and other follow-up documents from the workshop have been posted to: https://www.enstg.com/Register/passthru.cfm?RT123=DHS75794
