SUMMARY:Innovate with the Department of Homeland Security: Funding and Research Opportunities for Academics
DESCRIPTION:As a federal agency, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) is responsible for the science that strengthens the nation?s overall security and develops and delivers technologies for those on the front lines to complete their missions. DHS S&T casts a wide net to find and use the best technologies, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to climate adaptation, community and infrastructure resilience, communications technology, transportation, biometrics, chemical-biological threat detection, first responder capabilities, data visualization and analysis, cybersecurity and more.    DHS S&T offers several innovation funding programs and research opportunities for students and academic researchers. In this webinar, DHS S&T staff will introduce student internship programs, faculty early-career research opportunities, and funding for research and development (R&D). Learn how academics can propose novel science and technology ideas to get R&D funding; how researchers and entrepreneurs can move federally-funded technologies from lab to the market; how students can access paid research internships and how a broad range of small businesses (for the future business-inclined) can apply for up to $1M in R&D funds through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. Whether you are faculty, staff or a student, there are many ways to work with DHS S&T. The webinar will cover opportunities such as the Homeland Security Startup Studio (HSSS), HS-POWER research internships for students, S&T?s Long Range Broad Agency Announcement, and the DHS SBIR Program. Don?t miss out on this chance to connect directly with these leaders in innovation and discover DHS S&T opportunities for you!    Speakers  Megan Mahle ?
