Research Initiatives at the Naval Postgraduate School

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is seeking research proposals for basic and applied research in various fields, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The proposals should address research objectives, methodologies, and anticipated outcomes. The research should have the potential to provide a direct benefit to the public. Proposals will be evaluated based on their technical merit, relevance to NPS's mission, and potential impact. • The proposal submission process has two stages: white paper submission and full proposal submission. • White papers should be 5 pages or less and provide a brief overview of the proposed research. • Full proposals should include a detailed technical approach, budget, and other supporting documents. • The award will be in the form of a grant or cooperative agreement. • The period of performance will vary depending on the research area and technical approach. • Cost sharing is not expected but may be considered if proposed.
