Organization · Fort Belvoir, VA; large operation at Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque
Defense Threat Reduction Agency
The DoD agency for countering weapons of mass destruction. It funded Neimark's chemical-protection research at Rutgers and has a big presence at Kirtland, beside Sandia and AFRL. That makes it a thin bridge between the Rutgers name and the Albuquerque cluster.
On the record
- DTRA grants BRBAA07-F-2-0078 and HDTRA1-14-1-0015 to Neimark's group.
- DTRA has Albuquerque operations on Kirtland AFB.
