Description

This RFI is designed to find interested and qualified sources capable of assisting S&T implement a national program to engage the academic community at the university level (undergraduate and graduate-level students) in solving DHS challenges.� The program would focus on homeland security challenges, generating solutions that might entail changes in doctrine, strategies, and policy, create or improve new programs, or develop technology prototypes for evaluation.� The program would be designed to teach students lean startup principles and methodologies and apply that critical thinking to solve a homeland security challenge in an entrepreneurial approach similar to the way a business is created to solve a problem in industry.� This entrepreneurial academic engagement would include designing and assisting S&T in program development and management to benefit DHS customers. This engagement should use entrepreneurial tools and techniques to develop creative solutions for homeland security challenges through credit-bearing, project-based courses. �The DHS challenges that are part of the engagement would complement existing academic research (e.g., the work of DHS Centers of Excellence) and current S&T R&D strategies. �The interdisciplinary, experiential learning course for undergraduate and graduate students would be developed, managed, and taught in universities across the United States in a nationwide program that serves as a strategic innovation capability for DHS. �An important aspect of the engagement would include providing a student experience that inspires the next generation of leaders both in learning about entrepreneurship and working with DHS.
