The presentation will provide the audience with an overview of current Army research priorities and describe programs used to sponsor research and enable partnerships.  It will also provide guidance on how best to approach Army research organizations, and introduce opportunities for direct student engagement.  The objective is for the audience to have an understanding of opportunities with the Army, and increase confidence in how to pursue them.  The desired outcome is to expand and diversify participation in Army research efforts, to provide a robust ecosystem of institutions and people to support the Army’s need to operationalize science for transformational overmatch.
