collaborATIon™ – Connect with ATI Consortia

What is collaborATIon™?

collaborATIon™ is a free Android application created by Advanced Technology International (ATI). It serves as a central hub for members of ATI‑run research and development consortia, offering tools to stay informed and connected within the federal‑technology community.

Main features

• Member networking – Browse profiles of other consortium participants and start conversations.
• Solicitation feed – Receive up‑to‑date listings of government procurement opportunities relevant to your expertise.
• Event calendar – View upcoming workshops, webinars and conferences hosted by ATI or partner agencies.
• News hub – Access articles and announcements that affect the consortia you belong to.
• Consortium search – If you are not yet a member, explore available consortia by technology area to find a good match for your capabilities.

How it works

After installing the app, you sign in with the credentials provided by ATI. The dashboard then presents a personalized feed based on the consortia you are affiliated with. You can filter solicitations by deadline, technology domain, or agency, and add events to your device calendar with a single tap. The networking section lets you send connection requests and exchange messages directly within the app.

Practical uses

• Stay ahead of upcoming government contracts without scanning multiple websites.
• Find collaborators for joint research projects across different sectors.
• Plan attendance at relevant events and avoid missing key briefings.
• Keep a record of industry news that may impact your work or funding opportunities.

Who may find it useful?

The app is designed for:

1. Current members of ATI’s federally funded consortia who need a streamlined way to manage their interactions.
2. Researchers, engineers, and business development professionals looking to join a consortium that aligns with their technology focus.
3. Government liaison officers who want to monitor the ecosystem of private‑sector partners.

Things to know before installing

collaborATIon™ is free to download and use. Access to most features requires an active membership in an ATI consortium, as the app pulls data from ATI’s secure backend. The app does not collect unrelated personal data; it only stores the information necessary for authentication and communication within the consortium network.

Can I use the app if I am not a consortium member?

You can explore available consortia and read public news, but full networking and solicitation access requires a valid member account.
