NRWG 16-1 Tab Content

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) hosted the Naval Research Working Group (NRWG) 16-1 March 21-24, 2016 aboard the Monterey campus. This activity is an essential element in the success of the NPS Naval Research Program, as envisioned by the Secretary of the Navy. It serves as a forum for Navy and Marine organizations to communicate, review, validate, and recommend topics for NPS research in FY17. SECNAVINST 1524.2C dtd 141021 identifies that, “an active academic research program is vital to the quality of education provided to students, the attraction and retention of exceptional faculty members, and the provision of real-time, directly relevant deliverables to government sponsors.”

During the main event, an all-hands plenary session, attendees with research requirements (topic sponsors) were asked to present a short briefing to faculty and students summarizing their topic(s), the benefit(s) to the Services, and expected deliverables from the research. Attending topic sponsors had the opportunity to participate in a sponsor-only sync session to coordinate and collaborate on research requirements of mutual interest prior to the plenary session. Attendees were encouraged to participate in student and faculty breakout sessions to solidify research requirement topic definitions. Sponsors also had the opportunity to conduct interim progress reviews for ongoing FY16 projects.

This was an excellent annual opportunity for the Navy and Marine Corps to effectively leverage NPS faculty expertise and student operational experience as valuable research assets. All faculty and students were invited and encouraged to participate in the week’s events and were required at the plenary session, as appropriate.

The primary point of contact for this event was LtCol Lou Camardo at +1 831-656-2794 or e-mail camardo@nps.edu. Alternate points of contact were: Mr. Rod Abbott (NRP Program Manager) at +1 831-656-2579, or e-mail rpabbott@nps.edu; and Mr. Bob Osterhoudt (NPS NRP National Capital Region Representative) at +1 703-489-9729, or e-mail rrosterh@nps.edu

 

At the Plenary Sessions on day one, topic sponsors will present their research topics and future research requirements to an audience of NPS students, faculty, and staff using the NRP template slide found on the topic portal. The Plenary Sessions are followed, on days two and three, by Revolving Panel Sessions at which topic sponsors are able to address smaller groups of interested faculty and students. Topics are covered in more depth during the revolving panel sessions. Additionally, individual breakout sessions will be held between topic sponsors and faculty/students in order to discuss specific research needs in detail, begin or continue to scope any proposed work, and cover IPRs for those NRP projects already underway.

Travel days will be Sunday and Friday, 20 and 25 March respectively.

NRWG 16-1 Agenda

 

Topic Sponsor Synch Session
The Naval Research Working Group kicks off with the Topic Sponsor Sync Session.  At this meeting, the Naval Research Program staff will give an overview of the week's events, ensuring that the topic sponsors know where they need to be and what they need to accomplish throughout the week-long working group.  There will also be a review of the expected output for the week and questions will be answered.  The primary purpose of the Sync Session is to ensure that the topic sponsors are prepared for a successful week at the Naval Postgraduate School.

Plenary Session
During the Plenary Session, Topic Sponsors very briefly (2 minutes per topic) introduce their organization and research topics. The intent is to provide NPS faculty and students an introduction to the topics and Topic Sponsors, with discussions to continue during individual Break-Out Sessions and the scheduled Revolving Panel Sessions. The Plenary Session is scheduled by School and therefore a presenter may be presenting at more than one time during the day, based on the primary curriculum preference that was selected at the time of topic input. (Slides generated by NRP Topic Portal)

Revolving Panel Sessions
During the Revolving Panel Sessions, Topic Sponsors will have an assigned window (approx 25 minutes) to brief their topics in a small audience format. The intent is to provide NPS faculty and students with a greater in-depth discussion of topic details. (Slides provided by presenter. Please send to the NRP ASAP and also plan to bring them on disc).

Break-out Sessions

Each Topic Sponsor presenting has an assigned break-out location, as specified on the program insert. NPS faculty and students are invited to meet with Topic Sponsors during break-out sessions to discuss topics and begin scoping research. Topic Sponsors manage their own break-out session schedules.

In-progress Reviews (IPRs)
Faculty members and students currently conducting research for topic sponsors who are in attendance should schedule in-progress reviews during the afternoon in whatever location on campus best suits their needs. There is room available at Dudley Knox Library for in-progress reviews; however sponsors, faculty, and students are encouraged to schedule in-progress reviews in laboratories and other relevant working spaces as they see fit.

Topic Sponsor Out-briefs and Hotwash
Topic Sponsor Out-briefs provide a formal opportunity for Topic Sponsors to give feedback of metric outcomes of the event to the NPS Dean of Research. The Topic Sponsor Hotwash is an informal discussion of the events suggestions for improvements.

Social and Faculty Research Poster Session
The Naval Research Program's social and poster session is primarily an opportunity for our many research topic sponsors to get a better idea of the breadth and depth of the research taking place at the Naval Postgraduate School. Our world-class faculty study the cutting edge developments of operational Navies across the globe. Their research extends the reach of today's Naval services, whether underwater, on the surface, in the air, or orbiting the earth. Come see their research projects, ask them to share their expertise, and enjoy the informal social. The NPS Foundation has generously agreed to provide food for the event and bartenders will be standing by. Take advantage of this showcase of the NPS faculty who we are so proud of! See you in the La Novia room on Monday, 21 March at 1700!
