Partnering with universities is a key element of the U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command's (RDECOM) research strategy. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is the RDECOM lead agency for planning and executing research opportunities with academia. ARL has a number of complementary mechanisms for academic partnering, ranging from single investigator grants with individual university faculty, to large centers with groups and consortia, to direct collaborations between university research personnel and ARL in-house scientists, engineers and analysts.
