Destroyed houses in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward are illuminated at night Aug. 20, 2006, nearly a year after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city.

With its main partner, the University of Arizona at Tucson, UTEP will assess threats, improve surveillance and screening and analyze immigration trends. With its share of the grant, $1 million annually for six years, UTEP will create a center led by Ret. Brig. Gen. José Riojas, the university’s vice president for strategic initiatives. The project will build on a 2006 federal grant to the university for an academic center focused on national intelligence issues.

Elsewhere, other new DHS Centers of Excellence will focus on maritime and port security and explosives detection. All are funded through the office of university programs at DHS’ science and technology directorate.
