Abstract:	The Virginia Tech Applied Research Corporation (VT-ARC) -- a private, non-profit corporation affiliated with Virginia Tech -- was selected by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to create a Basic Research, Innovation, and Collaboration Center. The Center will provide the Air Force an innovative and collaborative environment accessible to academia, industry and other government entities. The BRICC collaborative services and environment will assist AFOSR in evolving from "doing things better" to "doing things differently" with respect to Basic Research Initiatives, Multidisciplinary University Research Initiatives, Small Business Technology Transition, workforce development including Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs, and international collaboration.
