Find everything you need to know about NCITE's Year 4 RFP.
Information on NCITE's Year 5 RFP will be posted soon.
OVERVIEW
The research objective of NCITE is to bring together capabilities of colleges, universities, federal laboratories, industry, and nonprofit organizations to help thwart terrorism as part of NCITE’s role as DHS’ trusted agent for counterterrorism and terrorism prevention research.
NCITE’s research seeks to innovate, educate, and create new counterterrorism and prevention strategies while building a workforce pipeline where it’s desperately needed: in STEM and Homeland Security fields.
Our mission is to make these research findings relevant and ready. Our hope is to help America’s Homeland Security frontline be known as first in-class terrorism and targeted violence prevention.
