Purpose

U.S. adversaries, including China, are seeking advanced and emerging technologies to advance their military capabilities and to develop and deploy weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and advanced conventional weapons against the United States. A significant number of foreign governments, public and private research organizations, tech industries, and start-up communities are unaware of dual-use applications of technologies and remain vulnerable to theft and loss of technologies, data, intellectual property (IP), knowledge and talent that can be leveraged for military end uses. For example, semiconductors, which are critical components in a most of today’s electronic devices, are also a critical input for the development of military technologies, WMD and WMD delivery systems, and technologies with potential dual-uses – such as artificial intelligence. In addition to seeking advanced technologies, adversaries exploit commercial and scientific facilities, training centers, and the seas to conduct illegal military operations.

Malign actors use legal and illegal means such as joint commercial ventures, talent recruitment programs, research partnerships/funding, predatory contracting agreements, private equity investments, joint scientific facilities/laboratories, cybertheft, state-sponsored industrial espionage, supply chain diversion, or sales or donation of untrusted hardware and software to acquire foreign intellectual property, conduct dual-use research and development, or conduct military activities under the guise of science diplomacy or commercial activity. Affiliations and links to military entities are often obfuscated or disguised when establishing collaborations and partnerships in order to gain admission and secure visas to study or conduct research on sensitive advanced and emerging technologies at foreign universities; to procure critical equipment and components from unsuspecting or indiscriminate commercial or scientific institutions; or when establishing joint scientific facilities or operating in international business markets.
ISN/CTR seeks to enable key foreign partners to protect critical advanced and emerging technologies from exploitation by our adversaries for military, technological, and economic advancement; secure U.S. intellectual property (IP) abroad; and prevent the exploitation of commercial and scientific partnerships in several key areas, including but not limited to: aerospace and space technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), nanotechnologies, neuroscience, quantum computing and sensing, semiconductors, and smart cities. ISN/CTR also seeks to apply risk reduction tools to more traditional security vulnerabilities that are exploited by proliferator states for military training, geographic influence, etc.

Purpose

Proliferator states, such as Russia and China, increasingly use the sale of their advanced conventional weapons (ACW) systems as a means to obtain financial resources, exert malign influence, and create strategic defense dependencies. At the same time, countries with existing ACW contracts are seeing these systems operate in Ukraine, as well as experiencing the impact of manufacturing and supply shortages. To adapt to the sanctions against them, Russia has been forced to turn to China to supply the materials, technology, and logistics for their defense industrial base for critical high priority items, creating close networks of collaboration.

China, Russia, and other adversarial states leverage private military and security companies (PMSCs) to facilitate of the flow of weapons and ammunition, destabilize regional and national authorities, exploit natural resources including critical minerals, and harm civilian populations. The award recipient will leverage its network to conduct in-person trainings and workshops informed by open-source research on these subjects. The target audience of in-person trainings and workshops includes individuals from national and regional military and law enforcement groups as well as key policymakers of both domestic and regional groups.

Objectives include planning and organizing in-person technical events on countering proliferation of advanced conventional weapons and private military companies for at least 20-50 stakeholders per event. If more targeted sessions are necessary, ISN/CTR can consider them. The events should aim to engage participants from multiple sectors. The in-person trainings and workshops will be informed by open-source research completed in advance of trainings.

Specific Aim 1: Countering Chinese and Russian Proliferator Procurement Networks

Background: ISN/CTR programming seeks to engage private sector technology manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and wholesalers, public sector financial intelligence units, and enforcement agencies to counter these illicit networks to help prevent the proliferation of ACW systems and technology from China and to Russia.

Objective: Use commercially-available and open-source data to develop and disseminate reports that help partners to identify components, front companies, and illicit procurement pathways for military-related items in order to de-risk and disrupt those activities. Conduct engagements that enhance partners’ ability to develop and utilize open-source data to identify high-risk transactions, suspicious corporate activities, and procurement networks of military applicable components to proliferator states.

Objective: Engage private sector technology manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and wholesalers on tools and resourced to enhance due diligence for procurement practices, know your customer s customer [KYC(C)], and specific commodities (such as polymers, printed circuit boards, Surface Mount Technology (SMT) equipment, etc.), with military applications.

Objective: Engage major machine tool, microelectronic, semiconductor, and other high-end dual-use manufacturers to raise awareness on the risk of illicit entities seeking to invest or engage in joint ventures with primary or sub-tier supply chain companies involved in the design, production, or sale of these technologies.

Objective: Improve private-public partnership, data sharing, and other types of collaboration.

Objective: Develop and disseminate commercially-available, open-source information to identify high-risk defense networks and exports to include: the methods, vessels, and aircraft facilitating these transactions, and the trade restrictions and sanction risks associated with transacting with these entities.

Specific Aim 2: Countering Chinese and Russian Proliferation of ACW

Background: Proliferator states, such as Russia and China increasingly use the sale of their advanced conventional weapons systems as a means to obtain financial resources, exert malign influence, and create strategic defense dependencies. By analyzing and exposing global proliferator state-linked defense networks, public and private sector stakeholders can avoid predatory business venture risks, identify potential high-risk transactions, and help to ensure compliance with international sanctions. In addition, proliferator states use the development and sale of ACW systems as part of its strategy of self-reliance to access and help produce high-end technologies that enable its own military modernization efforts.

Objective: Raise awareness in the public and private sector on designated proliferator-state linked defense entities seeking to establish business operations or joint ventures in foreign countries for defense sector and ACW sale purposes. Share commercially available information to proliferator-state linked defense networks, the methods, vessels, and aircraft facilitating these transactions, and the trade restrictions and sanction risks associated with transacting with these entities.

Objective: Support key business consultation firms to provide peer-to-peer engagements with foreign private sector partners to limit corporate risks and exposure to sanctioned, prohibited, or otherwise high-risk defense firms linked to proliferator states.

Specific Aim 3: Addressing Strategic Defense Dependencies

Background: When foreign governments procure weapons systems from proliferator states through predatory agreements, it forces the recipient country into a long-term contract and defense dependencies. This undermines the recipient’s ability to make independent defense choices while expanding malign influence of the proliferator state. These efforts focus on countries with historical ties to, and dependencies on, Russian and Chinese weapons systems.

Objective: Develop and disseminate technical reports focused on the hidden costs of doing business with Russian and Chinese defense firms (to include repairs, spare-parts, corruption, long-term deals that bind countries to strategic reliance in international forum, inflated costs over time, and impact of potential sanctions), and ACW functional and operational limitations.

Objective: Support technical defense consultations to identify pragmatic defense diversification procurement opportunities. Develop technical analyses for partner countries on defense-related infrastructure, manufacturing, human capital, and supply chains, to explore diversification opportunities.

Specific Aim 4: Countering Malign Activity by Private Military and Security Companies (PMSC):

Background: Private military and security companies contribute to the proliferation of advanced conventional weapons and malign activity that goes against the interests of U.S. national security priorities and the interests of U.S. allies abroad, such as Chinese encroachment and exploitation in WHA. Unregulated mercenary security groups often operate contrary to international norms. These entities are also used to propagate foreign malign influence, undermine national security interests of host countries, destabilize regions, and exploit natural resources such as critical minerals while invoking violence and civilian harm.

Objective: Assist key defense, security, law enforcement, and private sector entities to professionalize and standardize best practices during the solicitation, procurement, and oversight processes when obtaining PMSC services. Simultaneously, focus in-person training content on promoting American alternatives to the use of known unaccountable mercenary groups

Objective: Promote implementation of international PMSC procurement best practices and due-diligence measures including adoption of standards outlined in the Montreux document and International Code of Conduct Association (ICOCA).

Objective: Implement tailored in-person engagements that provide the target audience with case studies, open-source training tools, and research methodologies to identify PMSCs involved in extralegal acts described above. This would include open-source data and information on PMSC deployments, modes of transport, financing, subsidiary, and logistics networks facilitating PMSC deployments to public and private sector partner enforcement officials

Objective: Demonstrate disadvantages of Chinese and Russian companies securing and exploiting critical natural resources, including critical minerals and their ties to PMSCs.

Purpose

Purpose and Background Information

The NRSA program has been the primary means of supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral research training programs since enactment of the NRSA legislation in 1974. Research training activities can be in basic biomedical or clinical sciences, in behavioral or social sciences, in health services research, or in any other discipline relevant to the NIH mission.

Institutional NRSA programs allow the Training Program Director/Principal Investigator (Training PD/PI) to select the trainees and develop a program of coursework, research experiences, and technical and/or professional skills development appropriate for the selected trainees. Each program should provide high-quality research training and offer opportunities in addition to conducting mentored research. Trainees should develop the ability to work effectively in teams with colleagues from a variety of cultural and scientific backgrounds, and to promote inclusive and supportive scientific research environments. The grant offsets the cost of stipends, tuition and fees, and training related expenses, including health insurance, for the appointed trainees in accordance with agency-approved support levels.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) provides an opportunity for the Hub to create, provide, and disseminate clinical and translational science training and career support programs for translational scientists and to support meaningful translational science research projects that address demonstrable needs among stakeholder communities.

Program Objective

The goal of the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Predoctoral Research Training Grant for the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program is to equip trainees with the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) to advance diagnostics, therapeutics, clinical interventions, and behavioral modifications that improve health.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is transforming the translational science process so that new treatments and cures for disease can be delivered to patients faster. NCATS strives to develop innovations to reduce, remove or bypass costly and time-consuming bottlenecks in the translational research pipeline in an effort to speed the delivery of new drugs, diagnostics and medical devices to patients.

Translation, translational research, and translational science are related but different. Translation turns observations in the laboratory, clinic, and community into diagnostics, therapeutics, medical procedures, and behavioral changes that improve people’s health. Translational research moves a project to the next step in the translational process. Translational science enables these projects to reach their goals faster and more efficiently. At NCATS, we define translational science as the field that generates scientific and operational innovations that overcome the long-standing barriers along the translational research pipeline. With its focus on improving the process, translational science ultimately leads to more treatments for all people more quickly. 

The NCATS Translational Science Principles characterize effective approaches for advancing translational progress. These principles are described on the NCATS website (https://ncats.nih.gov/about/about-translational-science/principles). These principles are intentionally broad and apply to research anywhere along the translational continuum. While they exemplify translational science approaches, they are not intended to be comprehensive. 

The NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program is designed to develop innovative solutions that will improve the efficiency, quality and impact of the process for turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public. Sustaining a vibrant clinical and translational research enterprise requires a 21st century workforce that can advance clinical and translational science (CTS) that will, in turn, increase the efficiency and efficacy of translation, with the ultimate goal of getting more treatments to more patients more quickly.

Clinical and translational scientists will possess both deep scientific domain expertise and systems understanding, and their research is expected to be designed to produce discoveries that are simultaneously important for their discipline(s) and contribute to other disciplines, thus intentionally advancing the translational process as a whole. These characteristics will be required to successfully prepare trainees to transition into the many and varied productive career paths available to clinical and translational scientists within the translational science spectrum. Proposed training programs are expected to help trainees develop the following characteristics independent of their particular area(s) of expertise:

  • Domain Expert: Possesses deep disciplinary knowledge and expertise within one or more of the domains of the translational science spectrum ranging from basic to clinical to public health research and domains in between.
  • Boundary Crosser: Breaks down disciplinary silos and collaborates with others across research areas and professions to collectively advance the development of a medical intervention.
  • Team Player: Practices a team science approach by leveraging the strengths and expertise and valuing the contributions of all players on the translational science team. Has the ability to work effectively with colleagues from a variety of cultural and scientific backgrounds, and to promote inclusive, safe and supportive scientific research and training environments.
  • Process Innovator: Seeks to better understand the scientific and operational principles underlying the translational process and innovates to overcome bottlenecks and accelerate that process.
  • Skilled Communicator: Communicates clearly with all stakeholders in the translational process across  social, cultural, economic, and scientific backgrounds, including patients and community members.
  • Systems Thinker: Evaluates the complex external forces, interactions, and relationships impacting the development of medical interventions, including patient needs and preferences, regulatory requirements, current standards of care, and market and business demands.
  • Rigorous Researcher: Conducts research at the highest levels of rigor and transparency within their field of expertise, possesses strong statistical analysis skills, and designs research projects to maximize reproducibility.
