INSURE Academic Consortium

ARLIS launched the Intelligence and Security University Research Enterprise (INSURE) as a resource through which the DoD and broader national security enterprise can leverage a wide range of vetted academic talent and expertise to solve hard intelligence and security problems. For the Consortium members, participation in INSURE is a mechanism through which the institutions can receive clearer demand signals from potential government research sponsors, contribute to research and development opportunities reserved for UARCs and trusted partners, benefit from sole source contracting authorities through use of ARLIS’s contracting vehicle, and have access to infrastructure and programs to enable work on sensitive government programs. 

INSURE leverages a network of trusted university partners with proven expertise in relevant disciplines, including human, social, and sociotechnical system analysis; applied artificial intelligence; intelligent human-machine teaming; and advanced computing. INSURE members include top R-1 research institutions around the country, working together with smaller but proven research institutions too often left out of the defense innovation pipeline.
