Attention Industry companies - Large, Medium & Small Businesses, Academia and National Laboratories! Please Mark Your Calendars for June 2019! The Human Systems and Armed Services Biomedical Research Evaluation and Management Communities of Interest (HS and ASBREM COIs) are planning their combined IR&D TIMs engagement! The HS and ASBREM COIs intend to conduct their event the week of 24-28 June 2019 at the Strategic Analysis Inc. (SA) facility, 4075 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22203. As with previous engagements, anticipate the potential for having S&T discussions for about four or five days and in multiple rooms, simultaneously. This engagement with Industry is led by the Executive Steering Groups of the HS and ASBREM COIs, and includes senior scientists, technologists and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as representation from other DoD & other Federal Agencies, such as DARPA, NIH and NASA. The HS and ASBREM COIs also intend to invite experts from the various acquisition and warfighter communities across the services. The science and technology taxonomies and key technical areas for the HS and ASBREM domains are shown here. Please note that more details are provided in the related event webpage within the Defense Innovation Marketplace, as well as the respective COI webpages for HS and ASBREM, as shown here. https://defenseinnovationmarketplace.dtic.mil/technology-interchange-meetings/human-systems-tim/ https://defenseinnovationmarketplace.dtic.mil/communities-of-interest/human-systems/ https://defenseinnovationmarketplace.dtic.mil/communities-of-interest/biomedical-asbrem/ Please vet these two COI taxonomies in your considerations to participate and if you have any questions, please send them to our team of SMEs standing by to support your prep.

Medical Chem-Bio Defense (MCBD) Online IR&D Technology Interchange The government intends to share relevant data on the HS COI vision, with relevant subareas of emphasis, current plans, and future capability/technology needs. These documents will be posted on the HS and ASBREM COIs event webpage,
[email protected] , and will likely vary in distribution protocols in terms of releaseability. After reviewing the HS and ASBREM COI data in the Marketplace site, companies and academia may submit relevant IR&D project data and corporate investments through the secure portal, with links provided. After data is loaded to the Marketplace, SMEs and company IR&D principle investigators or technology points of contact may confer to facilitate technology evaluations. Participation in the S&T discussions in June 2019 is contingent on timely receipt and review of your IR&D submittals. Questions regarding the data submission process may be addressed through a Q&A process using the
[email protected] email. Face-to-Face Technology Discussions (June 2019) The HS and ASBREM COIs will invite Industry/Academia/National Labs with projects representing the greatest collaboration potential to the face-to-face event in June 2019. After the relevant technology efforts are presented, the Government will review the potential for follow-on collaboration jointly with the presenting team; this could include future discussions on sharing research data, site visits, or more formal collaboration opportunities such as developing proposals/strategies for transitioning technologies into S&T applications or programs of record. Unclassified presentations and discussions up to SECRET collateral can be anticipated at the face-to-face meeting. Additional details regarding selected topic presentations, scheduling, and venues will be provided to invitees at a later date. If you are interested in participating, please send your expression of interest IMMEDIATELY to
[email protected] to receive additional instructions and follow-on information. For parties interested in attending the event, nominations of IR&D projects must be submitted to the IR&D database by 15 March 2019. Please note, if this is your first time responding to an announcement, keep in mind that obtaining the required access to the IR&D database could take as long as one week.
