Work With Us

Collaboration is the heart of LAS, and we are always looking for new partners.  We strive to bring together multidisciplinary teams that incorporate the best of government, industry, and academia to develop tools that are informed by mission needs and advance the state of the art in analytics. We do this by validating new tools and methodologies against practical mission challenges.  We work by using unclassified mission-driven exemplars that also have applicability to academic and commercial partners and link these mission exemplars to IC corporate goals, strategies, and requirements.  We augment these project teams with IC researchers and analysts, who work full time on-campus at NC State, to work hand-in-hand with team members to deliver mission-relevant solutions to better support today’s intelligence analysts.  

If you want to work with us, we invite you to participate in our yearly Call for Projects.  In mid-to-late May, we plan to release our Description of 2021 Projects and the process detailing the proposed projects for the following year.  In mid-June, we will host our annual Collaborators Day (virtually this year), where we will give an overview of LAS and the white paper solicitation process. Please see our page for all registration links and details for this year’s virtual Collaborators Week. If you would like to be notified when this goes out, please fill out the information under Connect With Us below.

If you would like to send an unsolicited white paper ahead of the upcoming Call for Projects, please feel free to submit it directly to Matt Schmidt, Director of Programs at mcschmid@ncsu.edu, however, there should be no expectation that you will receive feedback.
