Call for Abstracts
Your research can help solve mission-oriented challenges faced by the intelligence community.
Each summer, the Laboratory for Analytic Sciences (LAS) kicks off the annual planning cycle by releasing a call for abstracts. Academic and industry researchers are invited to submit one or more research project ideas. The call for abstracts is aligned with ongoing LAS research interests and discussions with U.S. Intelligence Community partners on mission needs. The call for abstracts provides examples of technical areas and applications of interest for LAS.
LAS is a mission-oriented academic-industry-government research collaboration that works at the intersection of technology and tradecraft. We apply unclassified examples from academic and commercial partners to intelligence community goals. Collaborators selected for project funding will work with LAS staff to deliver mission-relevant solutions to better support today’s intelligence analysts.
Capabilities Statements
The 2027 Call for Abstracts opens on July 1, 2026, but LAS accepts capabilities statements throughout the year. Please send your completed capabilities statement to lasoutreach@ncsu.edu.
