- Description
- The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI), United Stated Army War College (USAWC) is soliciting cost sharing agreement proposals from distinguished academic institutions to co-sponsor/organize four each conferences over the next four years, supporting th e theme, Building Regional Security in the Western Hemisphere III. The SSI web site is http://www.carlisle.army.mil/ssi/index.html. SSI requires that the vendor be an internationally recognized academic institution that is a center of excellence for the particular topic and, thus, capable of assembling a unique body of leading experts in the field of international security studies who have particular expertise to bring to bear. This is a co-sponsored project with a cost-sharing agreement, whereby the con tractor also provides monetary or non-monetary resources. Additional commercial business co-sponsorship is prohibited. The USAWC SSI will provide funds of not more than $25,000.00 for each conference, and may provide a limited amount of non-monetary res ources (subject matter experts, editors etc??????) as part of the cost-sharing agreement. This contract amount is for direct costs only and not for overhead or profit/fee. The first conference will be held in February 2005 in Miami, to facilitate travel of participants from South America. The normal end products of an academic conference are research papers, mono-graphs or books published jointly by the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) and the academic institution. The research products make recommenda tions on strategic issues and policies of importance to the Army. SSI publications are distributed to key leaders in the Army and Department of Defense, the military educational system, Congress, the media, other domestic and international think tanks and defense institutes, and major colleges and universities. These conferences allow SSI scholars and other Army personnel to interact with leading scholars, military and government officials who are influential in the field of study. The purpose of the con ferences is not only to produce publications that have inherent credibility but also to expose the scholars and military personnel at the War College to a diverse group of expert participants with whom they would not otherwise be able to interact.
