Official NPS Research Centers

Several Research Centers of Excellence have been established at NPS under the auspices of the Associate Provost and Dean of Research as per NPSINST 3900.2B. A Research Center is a group of faculty/staff with a significant concentration of expertise in a particular area normally with an emphasis on applications. (Research centers receive no funding from the Navy mission budget; they serve to organize and promote interdisciplinary experts around a common theme.) Every Research Center supports the NPS educational mission and displays a clear benefit to NPS, the Navy and/or DoD.
