Do you have a project idea for Research and Development? Newport News Shipbuilding has begun a continuous call for proposals. Ideas can now be submitted on the R&D Ideation website.

The current campaign is for National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) panel project ideas and will run through Aug. 5. Panel projects are 12-month projects that are $150,000 or less in effort. Any research ideas that support reduced total ownership cost, improved quality, enhanced workforce excellence, increased materials and process commonality, and identification of best practices should be submitted for the NSRP funding consideration.

Information regarding this solicitation, specific focus areas and the panel project white papers format can be found at
www.nsrp.org. For questions or assistance in submitting an idea, contact Elmer Dickens (E32) at 688-9079.
