FY2026 award data is a partial year — USASpending awards are reported on a rolling basis and the fiscal year does not close until September 30. why partial FY2026 data? →

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $4.62M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $4.61M as actual total obligation authority — $12.0K below the request. 4.6 − 4.6 = -0.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Defense Joint Counterintelligence Activities
The Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) is a strategic asset to the nation and our allies - continuously ensuring a trusted federal, industrial, and affiliated workforce, and enabling industry's delivery of uncompromised capabilities by leveraging advanced technologies and innovation. DCSA uniquely blends critical technology protection, trusted personnel vetting, counterintelligence, and professional education and certification to advance and preserve America's strategic edge. The programs which fall under the Defense Joint Counterintelligence Activities are the Critical Technology Protection Integration Cell (CTPIC) and Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS). The CTPIC is a whole-of-government engagement effort to deter, detect, and disrupt the unauthorized technology transfer activities of our adversaries. CTPIC serves as the DoD focal point for assessments, coordination, integration, and operational information sharing related to critical technology protection across all phases of research, development, and sustainment. This funding is needed for data access and analysis tools that support prioritization of limited resources and direct focused engagements addressing targeted threat information and mitigation actions. The ARLIS program management office oversees the University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) to provide strategic research and development to solve intelligence and security problems. ARLIS overlays human behavior and social science and culture and language expertise with expertise, research, and development in emerging and advanced technologies to solve increasingly technical, but human-centered intelligence and security challenges. RDT&E funding will be used for strategic research efforts that broadly benefit the Defense Security Enterprise (DSE) and develop capability and capacity at ARLIS that work sponsors can build on.

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security and Critical Technology Protection Integration Cell
Research for Intelligence & Security Challenges (RISC) - For the ARLIS summer 2024 internship program, approximately 44 RDT&E funded students were competitively selected to participate from an applicant pool of hundreds and completed 19 projects during the summer program. Of the 44 students, 33 received Secret clearances during the summer program. Using United States Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) contract through DCSA's arrangement with Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for research advisor providing expertise in developing, executing, and transitioning applied research to solve DSE and Defense Intelligence Enterprise problems required to improve research requirement development, these efforts increased understanding of existing applicable scientific literature and research and research best practices, and successfully articulated research requirements helping to expedite application of research outcomes. ARLIS FY24 RDT&E funded Human Research Protection Office support for review of projects involving human subjects research provided via support agreement with U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command. This support enabled two Human Research Protection Office reviews of two Defense Innovation Unit research projects (independently funded by USD(I&S) dealing with modernizing current polygraph technologies). CTPIC - Lead a program to develop and automated tracking mechanism to identify and deconflict cleared contract facilities working on Department-wide Critical and Emerging Technologies (C&ET) identified in the USD(R&E) Critical Programs and Technologies List (CP&TL).

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 17 of 1,741 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying Mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Defense Joint Counterintelligence Activities — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
