This area of the site provides a full listing by Title only of all the current Technology Opportunity Projects (TOPS) so far available. Access to the detail of the project AND opportunity to provide response is available ONLY to those firms which have requested, and been issued, an ACCESS CODE Sessions: In major part, sessions address those received Topics that are fairly specific. The Tech Seeker involved has an active interest in working with an external source to address the area indicated. How that relationship will play out may well not be determined but the intent is declared and the discussion that is expected to take place in the session will have more of the characteristics of a Bidders Meeting than an Informational Briefing.     To participate in these sessions require the Awardee to submit a White Paper - a much more specific document designed to show that they understand the problem and have the relevant skills to respond.
