About VACCINE

VACCINE's goal is to help this nation's 2.3 million extended homeland security personnel, including first-responders, perform their jobs more effectively by turning mass amounts of data into manageable information.

Turning massive data into actionable knowledge through innovative visual analytic techniques is vital to the mission of the Command, Control, and Interoperability (CCI) Division of The Department of Homeland Security, as well as all of the mission areas of DHS.

Our educational initiatives span the entire career development pipline ranging from PK-12 programs through undergraduate and graduate level work, to professional education and training programs.
