Chitra Awarded Contract to Support U.S. Army Research and Development Programs

Chitra was selected to support the development of a Cadet and Faculty Research Program that leverages Army and Department of Defense (DoD) research investments to facilitate the education and training of the Nation’s future Officer Corps and scientific workforce and strengthen the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command – Army Research Laboratory (DEVCOM-ARL) and overall DoD commitments to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
