HSARPA Vision
August 23, 2005HSARPA Overview 4
HSARPA R&D Funding Philosophy Competitive public solicitations
Broad array of private sector sources Small and large business Universities Independent labs, consortia, and FFRDCs Teams of all compositions
Lowered barriers to entry into HSARPA solicitation process White Papers Establish a teaming website Broadened bid space
Variety of contracting vehicles
August 23, 2005HSARPA Overview 5
DHS Strategic Partners
Due to participation and position in DHS S&T: Excluded from proposing on many BAAs But may provide transition-ready technology
The Strategic Partners: Lawrence Livermore Nat’l Lab Los Alamos Nat’l Lab Oak Ridge Nat’l Lab Pacific Northwest Nat’l Lab Sandia Nat’l Lab Brookhaven Nat’l Lab Argonne Nat’l Lab Idaho Nat’l Lab Remote Sensing Lab Savannah River Nat’l Lab
August 23, 2005HSARPA Overview 6
Coordinated R&D efforts that accomplish a specific mission-oriented objective
Delivers capability, hardware, software, prototype, algorithm, demonstration of feasibility, etc.
Defined schedule, funding, and risk management strategy: May be phased May include down-selects
Not just a collection of contracts

DHS S&T SBIR Strategy Engage all S&T portfolios Design topics with:
Medium width topics (not point solutions, not open topics) Near term commercialization potential
Award multiple Phase I’s and II’s Reduce or eliminate the gap between Phase I and II Active involvement to reach Phase III
Encourage teaming and collaboration Involve ultimate user

“Jump-Start” to Phase IIInvitation (at the discretion of HSARPA PM) to submit Phase II proposal before the completion of Phase IOnly for meritorious Phase I’s with clear potential for Phase IIInvitation basis:
Performance toward Phase I technical objectives Monthly and/or final reports Site visits Plans for Phase II
Invitation no earlier than 2/3 of period of performance
(ex. Invite in 4th month of 6 month effort)Phase II proposals evaluated and awarded incrementallyDecreases/eliminates funding gap between phasesAccelerates development of technology
