[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The demand signal for a lot of FFRDC work changes fast and substantially (for example, focusing on terrorism to great power competition to immigration enforcement). It’s hard for FFRDCs to keep quality labor around if there’s no stability in work so the only options are to expand portfolios so you have a place to park this expertise until they are needed or increase overhead to pay for them.[/quote]

That sounds like an FFRDC trying to be all things to all people to justify size/growth. Perhaps it would be better if each were separately operated and in a much more narrowly focused way. [/quote]

Perhaps if the FFRDC was for IRS, but the mission set of DOD and DHS is very broad.[/quote]

Trying to do everything DoD does is like trying to boil the Ocean.  So maybe don't try to do the whole DoD.

Instead pick something more narrow and focused.  Already CNA only does Dept of Navy, while Aerospace does Dept of Air Force.  For DHS, maybe the FFRDC supporting CISA is completely separate (i.e., no common parent organization) from the FFRDC supporting biologic protection. This is not rocket science. [/quote]
