The critical difference in the Applied Research Center’s structure is the administrative processes and structures that have been put in place to serve its clients. The Center has executed work for federal agencies, state and local governments, and commercial entities, in large part through task-based contracts. For instance, in working with the U.S. Department of Defense, the Center has acted as both the prime contractor and as a sub-contractor/consultant for commercial partners, serving to streamline the process.
