Hello DoD, Small Business Ecosystem! PLEASE PASS THE WORD! The Basic Cyber Hygiene for those who handle only Federal Contract Information is back! And we will teach this class every month – Why? -because there are 120K federal contractors who have this requirement! We will cover the FAR 52.204-21 which is in every federal contract! We’ll create a small business with four employees and lock it down! Small Businesses who only handle FCI will walk away from this class fully armed to implement basic cyber hygiene that day!  Register for Basic Cyber Hygiene/Proposed CMMC Level 1 at www.dau.edu/events  Find this event every month at www.dau.edu/events P.S. The source for this webinar, the FAR 52.-204-21, has been in every SBIR contract since 2013 is exactly the same at the proposed DoD CMMC Level 1!  https://lnkd.in/gPZTVTQ7

R&E leaders recently attended TechConnect World Innovation Conference and Expo, where leaders participated in various events aimed at sharing information and creating benefits for the nation's defense strategy. The focus was on fostering collaboration and communication to support research and development that ultimately drives the growth of cutting-edge technology.    Of note were two standout events at the SBIR/STTR Spring Innovation Conference, one of the co-located events at the expo, including a panel Matthew Williams, director of OSD Transitions SBIR/STTR Technology (OTST) Program, moderated on SBIR/STTR Phase III, and an expert panel Dr. Jagadeesh Pamulapati, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology Foundations moderated on DOD Critical Technologies and SBIR.    Key Takeaways:  - It's essential to incorporate data rights into all contracts. Safeguarding these rights fall on the government, and it's the responsibility of individuals to assert them.    - All Phase IIIs across the government operate similarly. The Department of Defense (DoD) collaborates with services and components to enhance knowledge and skills related to Phase III awards. The Defense SBIR/STTR Program Office is focused on educating officers on Phase III contracting awards. - Offshore manufacturing poses a major challenge, and transitioning from lab prototyping to company-level implementation must be considered. - Looking ahead, we will require low-cost, scalable technology and infrastructure to support investment in small companies focused on emerging technologies, enabling future innovation through commercial partnerships. - Industry days serve as valuable platforms for connecting the public and private sectors, fostering broader capabilities in business and technologies.    - Quantum science and technologies are key to the future of our defense system. However, for seamless integration, there needs to be more collaboration alongside other critical technology areas.
