2016 INSA INNOVATORS’ SHOWCASE CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
DUE THURSDAY, APRIL 21
WHERE RESEARCH LEADS THE THIRD OFFSET PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS


Is your organization developing technologies that would enhance U.S.
intelligence and national security missions? Put those independent research
and development (IR&D) and other internally funded research efforts before an
audience of leading government scientists, technologists and engineers at the
6th Innovators’ Showcase.


Since 2010, the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) has
presented the Innovators’ Showcase in collaboration with the National
Intelligence Science and Technology Committee of the Office of the Director
of National Intelligence (ODNI) and other U.S. intelligence agencies. This
annual exhibition provides a unique forum for the private sector, public-private
enterprises and academia to present their innovative research projects to
an ODNI-selected government audience and get feedback. The Innovators’
Showcase is an excellent opportunity to showcase your organization’s IR&D
portfolio and advance submitted research projects.


The 6th Innovators’ Showcase will focus on technology development projects
that could support the US Department of Defense Third Offset Strategy areas for
the broader Intelligence Community. We are looking for IR&D projects which
will provide technical capability to the Intelligence Community and will offset
the advantages of our adversaries, leading to the U.S. Third Offset Strategy.
If you have an IR&D project addressing one or more topics of interest (see
reverse) and haven’t already been covered in ODNI’s In-STeP Program and
related roadmap and corporate visits, your organization is encouraged to
submit a non-proprietary, unclassified, one-page abstract for initial review
and evaluation by INSA’s Council on Technology and Innovation.


The Council’s recommendations will be reviewed by the ODNI, and the bestqualified
submissions will be invited to present a more detailed briefing – at
the TS/SCI, unclassified and/or proprietary level, as appropriate – at the
Innovators’ Showcase, scheduled for June 3, 2016 in McLean, VA. While not
every abstract submitted to INSA will be able to present at the Showcase, all
abstracts will be compiled in the Showcase materials that are distributed to
government scientists, technologists, engineers, and management teams from
ODNI and other intelligence agencies.
