- E-mail: armybwg.meeting@aplmsg.jhuapl.edu Army Biotechnology Working Group Briefings on Alternative Business Practices for Industry & Academia DRAFT (22 October 2004) The Armys Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) has formed a Biotechnology Working Group (BWG) to begin to identify and coordinate potential biotechnology-based solutions to a broad range of non-medical Army needs. One of the objectives of the BWGs efforts is to begin to engage in an information exchange dialog with both the commercial biotechnology industry community as well as the academic biotechnology R&D community in order to (1) make these communities aware of Army needs and requir ements that are potentially amenable to biotechnology-based solutions and (2) learn from these communities what areas of ongoing work and/or research and development might have potential for addressing Army needs. An opportunity to initiate such an information exchange process on a limited basis has become available in conjunction with a meeting of the BWG currently planned to take place at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) in Laurel , MD on November 17. On the afternoon of November 17, Army representatives will present a short overview of the BWGs current focus areas followed by a series of briefings on alternative business practices for doing business with the Army that are availa ble and which may offer certain advantages over standard Department of Defense contractual arrangements. If you would like to have a representative of your organization attend this meeting or if you have questions regarding the meeting, please submit your request/questions via e-mail to the following address: armybwg.meeting@aplmsg.jhuapl.edu Include in your request the names of proposed attendees (please limit to 2 per organization), a short description of the type of work and/or research and development that your organization is involved in (please keep to one page or less), and an e-mail add ress for notification regarding the acceptance status of your request. Since seating space in the auditorium is limited, how well organizational qualifications described in the information provided match Army needs and BWG focus areas may be used to deter mine whether or not to approve an attendance request. The meeting will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 in the Parsons Auditorium at JHU/APL. Directions may be found on the JHU/APL website at http://www.jhuapl.edu. Click on the Contacts/Maps button for general direct ions, lodging information, etc. Under the Maps section, click on APL Campus for a layout of the campus. The meeting location will be at the main entrance, labeled Lobby 1 (Main Lobby) with parking indicated as Visitor Parking immediately adjacent to Lobby 1. A detailed agenda for the meeting is currently being assembled and will be made available along with other information on the Events page of the JHU/APL website at the address listed above (click on About APL and then click on Events ).
