Public-Private Analytic Exchange Program (AEP) Overview and Documents

AEP OVERVIEW:

The Public-Private Analytic Exchange Program (AEP) enables U.S. government analysts and private sector partners to gain a greater understanding of how their disparate, yet complementary, roles can work in tandem to ensure mission success.  Participants work to create joint unclassified analytic deliverables of interest to both the private sector and the U.S. government.

More information can be found in the documents linked below or by emailing AEP@hq.dhs.gov.

THE LATEST FROM THE AEP:

AEP Summer Information Sessions:

The Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis, Engagement, Liaison, and Outreach, Private Sector Engagement Branch invite you to attend the upcoming Public-Private Analytic Exchange Program (AEP) Virtual Summer Info Sessions.

Each info session will include a detailed overview about the AEP, importance of the program, relationships built between the public and private sector, how to submit research topic recommendations, and more. You will also hear former AEP participants share their experience. We encourage everyone to come with questions for discussion, as the AEP staff looks forward to socializing the program with you.

The AEP staff will host three separate info sessions. Each session will provide the same information, so it is only necessary to participate in one of these sessions.
