I'm not a DHS employee, so I can only offer my (possibly incorrect) impressions. Also, I think this is just an open invite that can help put LangSec more firmly in the minds of people who fund interesting academic research...feel free to disregard it if you're concerned about getting caught up in the US military-industrial complex :)

DHS funds open academic research in many domains; funded researchers traditionally seek to disseminate their results & findings via publication, commercialization, and open source distribution of systems and code. > will this research be open sourced? if not why should I contribute? I think they are simply soliciting input on what problems the research community feels are important so it can help establish funding priorities. There is no "research" as such (just problem areas), but see above. > Why do I need to create an account on this page? I too dislike creating accounts; I personally used one of the other authentication alternatives with a pre-existing account (twitter). > is this just for u.s. citizens? I think the call for input is generally to the larger security research community, but I ain't a lawyer.
