- Proposer's Day Announcement for the SCITE Program Synopsis The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) will host a Proposers' Day conference for the Scientific advances to Continuous Insider Threat Evaluation (SCITE) program on 16 April, 2015, in anticipation of the release of a new solicitation in support of the program. The conference will be held from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM EDT in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The purpose of the conference will be to provide introductory information on SCITE and the research problems that the program aims to address, to respond to questions from potential proposers, and to provide a forum for potential proposers to present their capabilities and identify potential team partners. This announcement serves as a pre-solicitation notice and is issued solely for information and planning purposes. The Proposers' Day conference does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals or proposal abstracts. Conference attendance is voluntary and is not required to propose to future solicitations (if any) associated with this program. IARPA will not provide reimbursement for any costs incurred to participate in this Proposers' Day. BACKGROUND AND PROGRAM GOALS Insider threats are individuals with privileged access within an organization who are, or intend to be, engaged in malicious behaviors such as espionage, sabotage or violence. The SCITE program seeks to develop and test methods to detect insider threats, through two separate research tracks. The first track of research will develop a new class of indicators, called active indicators, and associated automated detection tools. The SCITE program will develop and rigorously test a diverse array of potential active indicators. The second track of research will develop Inference Enterprise Models (IEM) – models of enterprises organized around detecting insider threats. An IEM forecasts the accuracy of an enterprise in detecting potential threats. SCITE research will develop flexible IEM approaches that can be used to forecast performance of specified subsets of an enterprise (e.g., forecast the impact of adding a new tool to find instances of a specific behavior) or complete enterprise models (e.g., forecast performance of enterprises that employ diverse tools). The SCITE program expects to draw upon the strengths of academia and industry through collaborative teaming. It is anticipated that teams will be multidisciplinary and might include computer scientists, data scientists, social and behavioral scientists, mathematicians, statisticians, and subject matter experts having applied experience with personnel security and insider threat detection. REGISTRATION INFORMATION Attendees must register no later than 6:00 pm EDT, April 9, 2015 at http://events.SignUp4.com/SCITEPDRegistration_April2015. Directions to the conference facility and other materials will be provided upon registration. No walk-in registrations will be allowed. Due to space limitations, attendance will be limited to the first 250 registrants. If there are more registrants than available seats, priority will be given to the first two registrants from each organization. All attendees will be required to present government-issued photo identification to enter the event. Non-U.S. citizens will be required to present passports. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The afternoon will include unclassified Presentation and Poster sessions to provide an opportunity for attendees to present their organizations' capabilities and to explore teaming arrangements. Attendees who wish to present organization capabilities for teaming opportunities may submit a request through the registration website. Details on the presentation and poster formats, and the procedure for submitting a request to present, will be provided after approval to register for the conference has been granted. Time available for presentations and posters will be limited. Therefore, presentations will be limited to the first 15 registered respondents who request an oral presentation, and posters will be limited to the first 15 registered respondents who request a poster presentation. These presentations are not intended to solicit feedback from the Government, and Government personnel will not be present during the presentations. This Proposers' Day is intended for participants who are eligible to compete on the anticipated BAA. Other Government Agencies, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), or any other similar organizations that have a special relationship with the Government, that gives them access to privileged or proprietary information, or access to Government equipment or real property, will not be eligible to submit proposals to the anticipated BAA nor participate as team members under proposals submitted by eligible entities. While such entities are not prohibited from attending the Proposers' Day, due to space limitations, preference will be given first to those organizations that are eligible to compete. Questions concerning conference and registration can be sent to dni-iarpa-events@iarpa.gov. Questions regarding the program can be sent to dni-iarpa-baa-15-09@iarpa.gov.
