[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FY 2025 FFRDC Attrition Rates (Page 34, Figure 15) -- Rand and Mitre are the only two FFRDCs with double-digit attrition.

They were targeted.[/quote]

By who? For what?[/quote]
They are gatekeepers. They evaluate systems (products and vendors) with an
unbiased viewpoint and cannot personally profit off their recommendations. Inconvenient truths that can cause others to lose business.

The report is correct in identifying the nsec ceiling as an arbitrary barrier. In today's world FFRDC funding is in the noise.[/quote]

Why wasn't attrition high for CNA, IDA, Aerospace, LL, and SEI?[/quote]if I remember correctly, didn't mitre have a thing where they would siphon off some funds for admin that they would use to fund internal research. Then fruits of that research would be completely owned by mitre instead of tech transferred? I remember some people being upset about that.[/quote]
