  1. 01

    How might lowering the AI project reporting threshold to $1 million change the balance between DHS innovation speed and Congressional oversight?

  2. 02

    What types of homeland security research projects could benefit most from alternative procurement methods that traditional contracting processes wouldn't support?

  3. 03

    Should the 72-hour Congressional notification requirement for AI projects apply equally to all security agencies, or does DHS face unique constraints?
