An informal information sharing session, will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23 in Nebraska Hall W213. The goal of this meeting is for faculty who have engaged with DARPA in the past to share best practices and lessons learned. The nature of doing business with DARPA is considerably different than that of other federal agencies (e.g., NIH, NSF, or USDA).

A one-day DARPA outreach visit to UNL is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 6, in the Nebraska Union (City Campus). This visit will feature DARPA’s deputy director, chief-of-staff, and the directors of its Biological Technologies Office, Defense Sciences Office, and Information Innovation Office. The goal of this visit by senior DARPA staff is for UNL, UNMC, UNO and other researchers to learn about how they can help DARPA advance critical capabilities for the DoD and beyond. A limited number of individual consultations with DARPA program representatives also will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the afternoon of August 6.

To register for one or both of these sessions, and to indicate interest in a one-on-one consultation with a DARPA representative, visit https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__unl.us7.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D0d88602dae95a22cc177a0d35-26id-3Dba01c4af9e-26e-3Dd59f9bb5e4&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=mnd_XqDY_VhM47_5yL3Ceg&m=HHbKuCoqArAeHIOXTLegnNXwxilZzrrCLNiv5GPU7UY&s=q9BAF6jQxsUYhZIXMKCxIUDIfx25MQfkWngOZraZ9T4&e=.
