Are you interested in obtaining research funding from the Department of Defense but aren’t sure where to begin? Lewis-Burke Associates LLC, a federal lobbying and consulting firm in Washington, DC, discussed current and emerging research areas of interest to DOD, including materials, artificial intelligence and machine learning, quantum information sciences, biology, chemistry, human-machine teaming, social sciences, and cybersecurity.
Lewis-Burke discussed how to build relationships with program managers, current and upcoming funding opportunities, applying your research to DOD problems, and how to take the first steps to obtain DOD funding. They were joined by a panel of BU faculty who shared the lessons they’ve learned in working with the Department of Defense.
