The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will host the Naval Research Working Group (NRWG) 19, aboard the Monterey campus, April 9-11, 2019. 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 FY20. 

This is 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 are invited and encouraged to participate.

During the main event Topic Sponsor Representatives will be assigned a trade show booth in the NPS McNitt Ballroom where they will be able to discuss research opportunities, the benefit(s) to the Services, and expected deliverables from the research. NPS faculty and students are invited to meet with sponsors during the tradeshow and\or to schedule a Breakout Session to discuss topics and begin scoping research to form an Initial Research Estimate Form (IREF) for topics they wish to research. Revolving Panel Sessions will provide Topic Sponsors, faculty and students additional small group opportunities to present and discuss research opportunities. NPS faculty will host a selection of NPS Lab Tours and participate in a Faculty Research Poster Session and Social to provide sponsors a better understanding of the wide range of research capabilities at NPS. 

Topic Sponsor Representatives must register and coordinate Topic Portal research submissions with their Topic Sponsor Lead no later than 22 March 2019.

This year we will be using the Whova event management tool, to manage registration, session participation, participant feedback and most importantly to increase collaboration opportunities.

Please use your official work email address. Please register for NRWG 19 and download the Whova event app ASAP.

You may return to the Whova app later to select the sessions you would like to attend but we highly suggest signing-up for sessions as soon as possible, as some sessions have very limited seating.
