MSRDC is soliciting interested researchers to participate in its Solution Teams for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
MSRDC has implemented a collaborative Solution Team approach to answer the needs of various Federal agencies. We are excited to work on behalf of our members to build new relationships, and ultimately contracts, with new potential Federal agencies.
As part of our work, we are developing Solution Teams for The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). DTRA enables the Department of Defense (DoD), the U.S. Government and international partners to counter and deter Weapons of Mass Destruction and Improvised Threat Networks.
We realize this is short notice, however we are working on the Federal government timetables. Your understanding and rapid response is much appreciated.
We’re always working to increase R&D opportunities for each of our member institutions. If this isn’t the best fit, we understand and encourage you to send this to any colleagues at your school that may also be interested. Please let us know what questions you have at [email protected].
Our Request: Capabilities Submission
If your research aligns to one or more of the topics below, please provide the following:
- Two sentences about your research expertise as it aligns with the research area.
- A comprehensive overview of your capabilities relevant to the topic and DTRA.
- Forward the Point of Contact in your Research or Sponsored Programs office.
To ensure MSRDC has enough time to create the highest quality Solution Team(s), we ask that you submit the information on the forms using the link below. Please review research topics and if applicable the corresponding PDF links.
