The University of South Dakota (USD) will host DEPSCoR DoD Day, presented by the Department of Defense, on Tuesday, July 19, at USD’s campus in Vermillion, South Dakota. Breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided.
The DEPSCoR Day will include overviews of basic research opportunities within the DoD, the DEPSCoR program, the Tri-Service Basic Research Offices and working with DoD Basic Research Program Officers. Breakout sessions in various scientific areas of DoD relevance (session areas will be announced in early June), a poster session, and speed networking opportunities will also be part of the event.
We are delighted that Dr. Bindu Nair, Deputy Director of Basic Research at the Department of Defense, will attend.
The Program Officers have all been identified, and it is an impressive list. We will be hosting:

Essentially, a research menu is a 1-2 page document describing 3-4 research ideas. Each idea is a paragraph or two and highlights a well-defined scientific question that you have an interest in answering. A graphic is fine if it’s illustrative, but please keep the total scope to 2 pages so that it can be reviewed quickly.
