(See: diegeticgames.com/cia-collect-it-all/) The game has several cards that are used to describe capabilities, crises, and actions that are familiar in the current international security environment. The task is to revise the cards so that they refer to a different security environment, one that could plausibly exist 20 years from now. Using the new game set, the team will elaborate several scenarios through game play. Results from game runs will be developed into presentations that highlight the changing demands on intelligence capabilities in future environments.		United States	Global	All must have some interest in strategy games. There are roles for story writing, visual presentation, and game instruction and facilitation. The team will develop brief case studies in international conflict that will require both research and imagination. Within the team, some knowledge of emerging and disruptive dual use technologies will be needed. IC analysts in the Washington DC area will participate in some game play. For that reason, at least two interns must be located in DC. Runs of the game may be conducted on campuses elsewhere. The publisher of the commercial game is an expert in game design and has agreed to serve as an advisor to this project.	2019-05-28 13:53:34	100		2124

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) helps these agencies work in more integrated function, share lessons learned, and move forward together. Within ODNI, the Office of Transformation and Innovation is leading the IC on topics that will be game changers in the 21st century, such as augmenting Intelligence with machines and improving how the IC partners with the private sector. We are looking for 1-2 virtual interns to support these efforts. Namely, you will be helping us to create an Innovation in National Security Playbook that covers best practices in everything from makerspaces to pitch competitions to virtual interns.

ODNI-USA-9 Transfer of Large Volume DNA Data Research methods for transferring large volumes of data from locations with poor data infrastructures. Research	Transfer of Large Volume DNA Data	Research methods for transferring large volumes of data from locations with poor data infrastructures.	Office of the Director of National Intelligence	3	ODNI-USA-9		Research	Interns will produce a research paper exploring options to transmit large volumes of encrypted DNA-related data. During a disease outbreak, it may be helpful to transmit DNA sequences to locations with greater capabilities to analyze them. Each DNA sequence file is between 5-10 gigabytes and multiple samples may need to be transmitted. Often outbreaks occur in locations with poor digital infrastructure, so high speed connectivity may not be available. Additionally, due to potential patient privacy concerns and the security and reliability of available networks, it may be necessary to encrypt the data. For this challenge, assume transferring data on hard drives is not possible. The final product of this project is a research paper detailing potential solutions to the above challenges, a discription of any use cases developed, and a copy of any data used to validate the potential solution. There may be multiple paths to a viable solution. Computer scientist and data experts may employ hardware or software approaches to improve compression or data throughput. Bioinformatists may approach this by working with the data itself and developing methods to limit the amount of data transmitted. Any solution must ensure the integrity of the data.
