Deadline Information

The deadline to submit an application is April 30, 2010

Summary

Through this program, DHS requests applications for possible partner institutions to be part of the Risk, Economic and Operations Research COE. As appropriate to meet its needs, DHS may add partner institutions to this COE consortium, provided these partners' proposals successfully passed a technical merit review. This program will support DHS policy directives to apply a risk-focused framework across all homeland security efforts. DHS seeks to develop a Center that will promote rigorous, innovative and path-breaking research in how the risks and consequences of terrorism and other low-probability events are evaluated and countered. DHS expects this COE and its partners not only to break new ground but also to creatively adapt existing approaches to resolve problems estimating or predicting the risk of terrorist attacks and other adverse events related to DHS's mission. Tools and methods proposed under this funding opportunity should be rooted in valid scientific research and theory and must improve DHS's ability to forecast terrorist reactions and responses to alternative mitigation measures. Knowledge generated by research under this effort must be amenable to integration into operations research, economics, and other social science and behavioral models and tools. Methods developed must be sufficiently user-friendly to stimulate adoption by analysts responsible for performing cost/benefit and risk of mitigation alternatives analysis.The distinct subject matter of this funding opportunity necessitates a thorough review of the official program guidance referenced at the URL provided in the contact section of this summary.
