The Acquisition Research Program (ARP) (www.acquisitionresearch.net) conducts and supports research in academic disciplines that bear on public procurement policy and management. These include economics, finance, financial management, information systems, organization theory, operations management, human resources management, risk management, and marketing, as well as the traditional public procurement areas such as contracting, program/project management, logistics, test and evaluation and systems engineering management. 
The ARP is interested in innovative proposals that will provide unclassified and non-proprietary findings suitable for publication in open scholarly literature. Studies of government processes, systems, or policies should also expand the body of knowledge and theory of processes, systems, or policies outside the government. 
The following research areas are of special interest: 
Leading-edge techniques in data collection, management, visual analytics and decision-making; 
Robust risk modeling techniques;
 Performance metrics and methodologies; 
Collaboration and cross-functional teams; and, 
Model-Based Acquisition.
