Development of a viable fault-tolerant quantum computer is potentially groundbreaking with respect to national priorities, […] Academia , Large Business , Small Business Avenue(s) for Collaboration: Collective Judgment Formation-Collaborative Research Alliance The Collective Judgment Formation (CJF) Collaborative Research Alliance (CRA) program is focused on basic research to create and expand scientific understanding of human-agent interactions in AI-supported team decision making for intelligence activities.

Work within this program will require the problem space to be addressed from multiple disciplinary perspectives working in concert to discover novel knowledge […] Academia , Large Business , Small Business Avenue(s) for Collaboration: Collaborative Partnerships ARO Core Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions (HBCUs/MIs) Program The DEVCOM ARL Army Research Office Core Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions (HBCU/MI) program funds research performed by HBCU and MI institutions and principal investigators at those institutions that are often new to ARO or to specific research programs within the ARL foundational research competencies.

The program offers co-funding to technical points of contact (TPOCs) to expand the research performer base, while broadening communities of interest and practice within the ARL competencies. Each year, new research proposals are considered for funding with TPOCs recommending top proposals through the associated competency.

Avenue(s) for Collaboration: DEVCOM ARL HBCU/MI Early Career Program The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory seeks unclassified research proposals from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions (HBCU/MI) under the DEVCOM ARL BAA to establish an Army HBCU/MI Early Career Program. Proposals must address an Army Research Office topic in the ARL BAA.

The program embodies the high priority placed by the government on maintaining the leadership position of the United States in science by producing outstanding scientists and engineers and nurturing their continued development.
