Advancing the Science of Intelligent Teaming^™

Who We Are & What We Do

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research institute. We solve critical challenges for the Nation's security and prosperity. We do this by focusing on creating impact by accelerating investments in the U.S. science and technology enterprise. We engage in research aimed at solving critical state- and federal-level challenges at the intersection of government, industry, and academia using the Triple Helix Model of Innovation. This model combines resources, competencies, and perspectives from different sectors (academia, industry, and the government) to drive innovation and new creative solutions; anchors and cultivates innovation ecosystems within a region; engages in boundary-spanning activities and encourages collaboration within and between these three sectors.
