Research ProgramResearch Program
• The LIAS will conduct R&D in algorithm and systems development in partnership with sponsors for their application requirements. General LIAS architecture R&D is sharable with all sponsors.
– Pre-Buy: Sponsor pre-buys a minimum number of research hours per year
» Enables the LIAS to maintain a core staff
» Pre-buy sponsors will be priority customers
– Directed Project: Sponsor requests support on single project or problem
» Work will be performed as resources allow
– Proposal Teaming: RIT will participate in joint proposals that are strategic to the LIAS

Closing ThoughtsClosing Thoughts
• People and intellectual property are the capital of the “New
Economy”
– and talented people are in limited supply
• RIT is ready to actively partner with industry and government
– To develop trained experts they need
– To help answer the difficult problems they face
• What RIT is offering is a unique opportunity
– will significantly assist companies/government agencies
– will have a direct impact on their competitiveness
