Who are we?

The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) operates three Federally Funded Research and Development Centers supporting federal decision making – two serving the Department of Defense and one serving the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President of the United States.  IDA assists the United States Government in addressing important national security issues, particularly those requiring scientific and technical expertise. IDA takes great pride in the high caliber and timeliness of its analyses, which are produced in an atmosphere that encourages independent thinking and objective results.     

 Why work at IDA?

Our primary sponsor is the Department of Defense and the classified work that is done at IDA must be kept secure. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in the national defense community. When you work on the team at IDA, you work for IDA and not a contractor, your job is stable and consistent. We strive to maintain a strong team dynamic and level of mutual respect.
