What the grant funds
The COEs are multi-disciplinary, university-based research and education Centers that conduct rigorous, innovative and useful research. DHS expects the COEs to break new theoretical and empirical ground as well as adapt existing approaches to Homeland Security missions and technology gaps. Research methods proposed under these funding continuations should be rooted in rigorous science and engineering disciplines. Knowledge generated by the COE's research must be amenable to integration with homeland security customers. As a whole, the portfolio of proposed projects should generate substantial original and cutting-edge research results.
