DHS HOSTS TWO-DAY WORKSHOP ON
Strategies for the Detection of Low Vapor Pressure Chemicals

The Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) is sponsoring a two-day workshop to discuss Detection Strategies for Low Vapor Pressure Chemicals. HSARPA is looking for input in a dialogue which will help HSARPA refine a potential solicitation in this area, which is anticipated to be announced shortly after the workshop.

To this end, we invite potential attendees to submit a one-page abstract providing the following information: (1) your name and what organization you are representing; (2) what your special contributions to this discussion might be; and (3) why you should be considered for participation. Based upon these one-page submissions, HSARPA will then select potential speakers for the workshop. These speakers will be asked to submit a two-page speaker's abstract summarizing their presentation. Depending on the level of interest, HSARPA may need to limit the number of presentations.

Areas of interest during this workshop include, but are not limited to:

• Pre-concentration of samples prior to analysis
• Large Volume Samplers
• Short Range Detectors (range<3 m.)
• Long range (Stand-off) Detection (range>3m.)

PLEASE NOTE: Abstracts and presentations will be shared among the attendees and the general public. It is the responsibility of the speaker to ensure that the submitted material covers only information suitable for sharing with a general audience. The organizers of this workshop are not responsible for safeguarding any proprietary information that appears in the abstracts and presentations.

In addition, the submission deadline for abstracts has been extended to 5 March. Please contact Chad Sokolowski or Donna Blanger for any further questions.
