In-STeP: The Intelligence Science & Technology Partnership

In-STeP: The Intelligence Science & Technology Partnership

Strong, if often quiet, partnerships between the US private- and public-sectors remain the cornerstone of ensuring an overwhelming intelligence advantage for our nation’s decision makers and warfighters. In-STeP is designed to empower the IC S&T enterprise and its partners to properly inform investment decisions by ensuring additional synergy in intelligence-related research efforts.

These partnerships are furthered through In-STeP 1-on-1 Meetings.  These meetings provide the opportunity to present S&T projects to IC stakeholders.  More than 50 meetings have been scheduled since the spring of 2015.  The In-STeP Brochure below contains more information about the In-STeP 1-on-1 Meetings and how you can get involved.


Adoption and implementation of In-STeP will be critical for aligning IC S&T enterprise and partners’ pursuits with future intelligence and broader national security needs.  In-VEST, the next stage of this process, will continue to build on the partnerships and opportunities that are established as part of In-STeP. 


Please contact the In-STeP team at S&TInvestment@dni.gov to learn more about In-STeP or discuss scheduling a 1-on-1 meeting.
