The Basic/Futures Research program area is led by Dr. Joseph Kielman. The program was put in place to conduct long term, fundamental research in support of CCID. It also strives to advance technologies that can serve the department and the local, tribal, state, federal, and international partners. This program area also develops and fosters a research community to identify and demonstrate novel information discovery, analysis, and management concepts and capabilities. This enables the division to identify, assess, minimize or prevent the impact of terrorist attacks and natural or man made disasters.

Within the Basic/Futures Research Program areis actually two programs. The first is known as the Visual Analytics and Precision Information Environments Program; and thehe second includes the Discrete-Element Computing, Privacy, and Forensics Program.

The Visual Analytics and Precision Information Environments Program uses visually-based mathematical methods and computational algorithms to discover, manipulate, or comprehend diverse data. The program also conducts research on novel advanced technologies and techniques for understanding and manipulating information in multiple forms or modes. These techniques tend to include text, video, images, audio, databases, and sensor data. The knowledge found through this program helps to anticipate terrorist incidents and/or catastrophic events. <ref> http://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1218474924792.shtm#30 </ref>
