Abstract:

This document outlines a process utilized by the NIWC Pacific Science and Technology S and T Forecasting, Investment and Transition Division to increase the involvement of senior technical leadership andor subject matter experts SMEs in the predominant Internal Research and Development IRAD program at NIWC Pacific, the Naval Innovative Science and Engineering NISE program. The S and T Forecasting, Investment and Transition Division highly values the current involvement of the senior technical leaders in the NISE Program. However, it was not necessarily clear what additional involvement would be most beneficial to NIWC Pacific and the NISE program. The analysts were challenged to determine additional engagement that would be beneficial and cost effective to NIWC Pacific, the senior technical leaders, the PIs, and the NISE Program.
