DAU CENTER FOR DEFENSE ACQUISITION RESEARCH AGENDA 2020
This ResearchAgenda is intended tomake researchers aware of the topics that are, or should be, of particular concern to the broader defense acquisition community within the federal government, academia, and defense industrial sectors. The center compiles the agenda annually, using inputs from subject matter experts across those sectors. Topics are periodically vetted and updated by the DAU Center’s Research Advisory Board to ensure they address current areas of strategic interest. The purpose of conducting research in these areas is to provide solid, empirically based fndings to create a broad body of knowledge that can informthe development of policies, procedures, and processes in defense acquisition, and to help shape the thought leadership for the acquisition community. Most of these research topics were selected to support the DoD’s Better Buying Power Initiative (see http:// bbp.dau.edu). Some questions may cross topics and thus appear in multiple research areas. Potential researchers are encouraged to contact the DAU Director of Research (research@dau.edu) to suggest additional research questions and topics. They are also encouraged to contact the listed Points of Contact (POC), who may be able to provide general guidance as to current areas of interest, potential sources of information, etc.
