Current Research Projects
CIRI uses our four strategic mission areas as a guidepost to ensure we are making measurable, impactful progress toward accomplishing our directive from the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate. Our active project list explores several different dimensions of critical infrastructure resilience. Our project portfolio evolves every 6 to 12 months as we complete assignments and launch new areas of exploration. This list represents a sampling of our current projects.
