College of the Armed Forces (ICAF).
His sea tours include an assignment in the A-6 Intruders
with VA-165, “The Boomers,” aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in
support of Operation Southern Watch. Following the decom-
missioning of the A-6E, Captain Bruington transitioned to
the F-14 Tomcat. He next reported to VF-11, “The Red Rip-
pers,” aboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) for its maiden,
around-the-world cruise, again in support of Operation Southern Watch. Following the events of September 11th,
Captain Bruington joined VF-211, “The Fighting Checkmates,” again aboard USS John C. Stennis, in the initial
phases of Operation Enduring Freedom, where he led numerous strikes in support of coalition troops in Afghani-
stan. Following his Department Head tour in VF-211, Captain Bruington transitioned to the Aerospace Engineering
Duty Ocer community.
His shore tours include attendance at United States Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS), and upon graduation, he
reported to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 23 (VX-23) as the squadron’s Safety Ocer and F-14 project ocer. At
VX-23 he worked on numerous F-14 and F/A-18 A-F projects including F-14 digital ight controls systems, enve-
lope expansion and LANTIRN pod integration. His next shore assignment was as the senior xed wing instruc-
tor at USNTPS where he led curriculum development and was integral in the introduction of the F/A-18 Hornet
out-of-control ight syllabus implemented at all F/A-18 Fleet Replacement Squadrons. He next spent three years
in the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program oce as the Vehicle Systems Integrated Product Team (IPT)
lead. He was responsible for developing the F-35 A/B/C ight controls, propulsion integration, aircraft subsystems
and all aircrew systems. He led his IPT through three F-35 Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs) and Critical Design
Reviews (CDRs), directly leading to the ight clearances and rst ights of the F-35A Conventional Take-O and
Landing (CTOL) and F-35B Short Take-O and Vertical Landing (STOVL) variants. Following this tour, he attended
ICAF where he earned distinguished graduate honors. Following his tour at ICAF, he was assigned as the “Deputy
CAG,” as part of the OPNAV N88 sta, responsible for development of requirements and budget submissions for
all Naval tactical aircraft, E-2/C-2, unmanned combat air systems and weapons programs across the Naval Aviation
Enterprise. Following his tour on the Navy sta, Captain Bruington next served as the Deputy Program Manager
for the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G air vehicle and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) F/A-18F programs as part of
Program Manager AIR (PMA) 265 in NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. He led a diverse team of over 1,000 govern-
ment and industry professionals to execute a $2.7B annual budget, delivering 40-plus Super Hornets and Growlers
to the eet each year. He was also instrumental in the nal delivery of all 24 F/A-18F aircraft to the RAAF.
Captain Bruington has own more than 70 combat missions above Iraq and Afghanistan, own 41 dierent
types of aircraft while amassing 3,200 ight hours and over 500 carrier-arrested landings. His decorations include
the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, four Air Medals (Strike/Flight), and numerous

Basic Responsibilities
The Technology Transfer Oce (TTO) is responsible for NRL’s implementation of the Federal Technol-
ogy Transfer Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-502). The law requires the transfer of Government innovative tech-
nologies to industry for commercialization as products and services for public benet. TTO negotiates Coop-
erative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) under which NRL investigators collaborate with
investigators from industry, academia, state or local governments, or other Federal agencies to develop NRL
technologies for government and/or commercial use. It markets NRL’s patented inventions, negotiates patent
license agreements under which the Navy grants a licensee the right to make, use, and sell NRL inventions (in
exchange for receiving licensing fees and a percentage of sales), and enforces licenses to assure diligence in
commercialization eorts.

The Institute for Nanoscience has two primary responsibilities: to administer an interdisciplinary re-
search program in nanoscience and to provide NRL scientists with high-quality laboratory space and state-of-
the-art nanofabrication facilities.
The mission of the research program is to conduct highly innovative, interdisciplinary research at the
intersections of the elds of materials, electronics, and biology in the nanometer size domain. The Institute ex-
ploits the broad multidisciplinary character of NRL to bring together scientists and engineers with disparate
training and backgrounds to attack common goals at the intersection of their respective elds at this length
scale. The Institute’s S&T programs provide the Navy and DoD with scientic leadership in this complex,
emerging area and help to identify opportunities for advances in future defense technology.
The Institute also operates a nanoscience research building containing nanofabrication facilities and
environmentally controlled measurement laboratories. The central core of the building, a 5000 sq ft Class 100
clean room, has been outtted with the newest tools to permit nanofabrication, measurement, and testing of
devices. In addition to the clean room facility, the building also contains 5000 square feet of controlled-envi-
ronment laboratory space, which is available to NRL researchers whose experiments are suciently demand-
ing to require this space. There are 12 of these laboratories within the building. They provide shielding from
electromagnetic interference, and very low oor vibration and acoustic levels. Eight of the laboratories control
the temperature to within ± 0.5 °C and four to within ± 0.1 °C.

As the DON reorganized the R&D laboratories and T&E activities, Mr. Therning oversaw the nancial re-
organization of the DNL labs with other activities into the Naval warfare centers. Upon the disestablishment of
DNL, Mr. Therning remained in the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command as the Director of the Defense
Business Operations Fund (DBOF) Resources Management Division, with collateral duty as the Financial Man-
ager of the Naval Command, Control, and Ocean Surveillance Center (NCCOSC). During this time, he man-
aged the conversion of nine appropriated fund engineering activities to DBOF and the nancial consolidation
of these activities with NCCOSC.
In 1995, Mr. Therning served as Head of the Revolving Funds Branch of the Oce of the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy (Financial Management and Controller), where he was responsible for the budget formulation
and execution processes of all DON DBOF activities, which includes the RDT&E activities, shipyards, aviation
depots, ordnance centers, and supply centers.
Mr. Therning was appointed Head, Financial Management Division/Comptroller of NRL in July 1996. In
October 1996, in addition to leading the Financial Management Division, he assumed responsibilities for the
Management Information Systems oce. In January 1999, as an additional duty to his role as Comptroller, Mr.
Therning was appointed to the newly established position of Deputy Associate Director of Research for Busi-
ness Operations to assist in the management and administration of the Business Operations Directorate.
Mr. Therning was Acting Associate Director of Research for Business Operations from April 1999 until

The Systems Directorate applies the
tools of basic research, concept explo-
ration, and engineering development
to expand operational capabilities and
to provide materiel support to Fleet
and Marine Corps missions. Empha-
sis is on technology, devices, systems,
and know-how to acquire and move
warghting information and to deny
these capabilities to the enemy. Current
activities include:
• New and improved radar systems
to detect and identify ever smaller
targets in the cluttered littoral environ-
ment;
• Optical sensors and related
materials to extract elusive objects in
complex scenes when both processing
time and communications bandwidth
are limited;
• Unique optics-based sensors for
detection of biochemical warfare agents
and pollutants, for monitoring struc-
tures, and for alternative sensors;
• Advanced electronic support
measures techniques for signal detec-
tion and identication;
• Electronic warfare systems,
techniques, and devices including
quick-reaction capabilities;
• Innovative concepts and designs
for reduced observables;
• Techniques and devices to dis-
able and/or confuse enemy sensors and
information systems;
SYSTEMS DIRECTORATE
Code 5000
• Small “intelligent”/autonomous
land, sea, or air vehicles to carry
sensors, communications relays, or
jammers; and
• High performance/high
assurance computers with right-the-
rst-time software and known security
characteristics despite commercial o-
the-shelf components and connections
to public communications media.
Many of these eorts extend from
investigations at the frontiers of science
to the support of deployed systems in
the eld, which themselves provide
direct feedback and inspiration for
applied research and product im-
provement and/or for quests for new
knowledge to expand the available
alternatives.
In addition to its wide-ranging
multidisciplinary research program, the
Directorate provides support to
the corporate laboratory in shared
resources for high performance com-
puting and networking, technical
information collection and distribution,
and in coordination of Laboratory-wide
eorts in signature technology, counter-
signature technology, Theater Missile
Defense, and the Naval Science Assis-
tance Program.

The Materials Science and Compo-
nent Technology Directorate carries out
a multidisciplinary research program
whose objectives are the discovery,
invention, and exploitation of new
improved materials, the generation of
new concepts associated with materials
behavior, and the development of ad-
vanced components based on these new
and improved materials and concepts.
Theoretical and experimental research
is carried out to determine the scientic
origins of materials behavior and to
develop procedures for modifying these
materials to meet important naval needs
for advanced platforms, electronics, sen-
sors, and photonics.
The program includes investiga-
tions of a broad spectrum of materials
including insulators, semiconductors,
superconductors, metals and alloys,
optical materials, polymers, plastics,
articially structured bio/molecular
materials and composites, and energetic
materials, which are used in important
naval devices, components, and systems.
New techniques are developed for pro-
ducing, processing, and fabricating these
materials for crucial naval applications.
The synthesis, processing, proper-
ties, and limits of performance of these
new and improved materials in natural
or radiation environments, and under
deleterious conditions such as those
associated with the marine environ-
ment, neutron or directed energy beam
irradiation, or extreme temperatures
and pressures, are established. For new
materials design, emphasis is placed on
protection of the environment.
Additionally, major thrusts are di-
rected in advanced sensing, detection,
reactive ow physics, computational
physics, and plasma sciences. Areas of
particular emphasis include nanosci-
ence and technology, uid mechanics
and hydrodynamics, nuclear weapon
eects simulations, high energy density
materials including fuels, propellants,
explosives, and storage devices, inter-
actions of various types of radiation
with matter, survivability of materials
and components, and directed energy
devices.

composed of multidisciplinary teams of materials scientists, metallurgists, ceramists, physicists, chemists, and
engineers using the most advanced testing facilities and diagnostic techniques. R&D programs encompass the
intrinsic behavior of metals, semiconductors, insulators, composites, and ceramics, including eorts in ferrous
alloys, intermetallic compounds, superconducting, dielectric, and magnetic materials, lms and coatings, and
multifunctional materials systems. The programs encompass advanced synthesis and processing techniques,
as well as postprocessing techniques to fabricate sensors, devices, structures, and components. A variety of
state-of-the-art characterization tools are used to probe the atomic, grain, and defect structure (composition
and microstructure) of the materials as well as to delineate the fundamental properties of the material or
material system. Response of materials and material systems to a variety of external inuences (mechanical,
chemical, optical, electromagnetic radiation, high-power lasers, temperature, etc.) is integral to the Division’s
programs, as are performance and reliability projections for military service lifetime. The program includes
strong theoretical, experimental, computational, and simulation eorts to predict, guide, and explain the
behavior of materials and materials systems. Studies conducted in the Division provide guidance for the
selection, design, certication, and life-cycle management of material in Naval vehicles and systems.

85
Basic Responsibilities
The Center for Bio/Molecular Science and Engineering is using the tools of modern biology, physics,
chemistry, and engineering to develop advanced materials and sensors. The long-term research goal is rst to
gain a fundamental understanding of the relationship between molecular architecture and the function of
materials, then apply this knowledge to solve problems for the Navy and DoD community. The key theme is
the study of complex bio/molecular systems with the aim of understanding how “nature” has approached
the solution of dicult structural and sensing problems. Technological areas currently being studied include
molecular and microstructure design, molecular biology, imaging of cells using nanoparticles, sensor design
and prototype development for biosurveillance or underwater chemical detection, and energy harvesting.
Much of the research deals with the engineering of peptides, proteins, and nanoparticles into complex mi-
crostructures for use in advanced material applications, and the harnessing of the recognition functions of
proteins and cells for the development of advanced sensors. A highly multidisciplinary sta is required to
pursue these research and development programs. The Center provides a stimulating environment for cross-
disciplinary programs in the areas of immunology, biochemistry, systems biology, electrochemistry, synthetic
chemistry, microbiology, microlithography, photochemistry, biophysics, spectroscopy, advanced diagnostics,
organic synthesis, and electro-optical engineering.

Dr. E.R. Franchi was born in Huntington, New York. He
graduated from Clarkson University in 1968 with a bach-
elor of science degree in mathematics. He received his master of
science (1970) and Ph.D. (1973) degrees, both in applied math-
ematics, from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. After completing
his graduate studies, Dr. Franchi accepted a research position
with Bolt, Beranek, and Newman where he performed validation
studies of underwater acoustic propagation and noise models.
Dr. Franchi joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1975 as
a research mathematician in the Acoustics Division. In this posi-
tion, he conducted and directed research in low frequency acous-
tic reverberation and scattering, including design and conduct of
eld experiments, development of signal processing techniques,
data analysis and interpretation, computer prediction models,
and active sonar performance studies. In 1986, he was named
Head of the Acoustic Systems Branch where he was responsible
for programs that emphasized theoretical, experimental, and
computational research to understand the physical mechanisms
of acoustic propagation, scattering, and ambient noise that con-
trol the design and performance of large-aperture passive sonar
systems, low frequency active sonar systems, and shallow water sonar systems.
In July 1988, Dr. Franchi was appointed to the Senior Executive Service and selected as the Associate Tech-
nical Director of the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA) and its Director of Ocean
Acoustics and Technology. The Directorate conducted basic, exploratory, and advanced research and develop-
ment and program management in the areas of acoustic model development and simulation, ocean acous-
tics measurements, and ocean engineering in support of all undersea warfare missions. In October 1992, the
Directorate became the Center for Environmental Acoustics in the Acoustics Division of the Naval Research
Laboratory, with Dr. Franchi as Director. Dr. Franchi was selected to the position of Superintendent of the
Acoustics Division in October 1993. The Acoustics Division conducts basic, exploratory, and applied research
and development in areas of acoustic modeling and simulation, ocean acoustics measurements, acoustic sys-
tems development, acoustic signal processing, and physical acoustics. He was responsible for the technical/
scientic management, direction, and administration of programs with a total budget in excess of $25M, and
for ecient management of division resources including the activities of approximately 110 civilian personnel.
He served as Acting Associate Director of Research for the Ocean and Atmospheric Science and Technology
Directorate from October 2001 to May 2002 and from June 2007 to April 2008. In April 2008, he was selected as
the Associate Director of Research.
Dr. Franchi received the Presidential Rank Award of Meritorious Executive in 2003. He has over 35 years
experience in underwater acoustics research and is the author/co-author of over 35 publications. He is rec-
ognized as an authority on underwater acoustic scattering and reverberation and has played major roles in
Navy low frequency active sonar programs as both performer and advisor/consultant. He served as the U.S.
National Leader of The Technical Cooperation Program’s multinational Panel on ASW Systems and Technol-
ogy from 1996 to 2002, and served as its Panel Chairman from 2002 to 2009. In 2011, Dr. Franchi received the
TTCP Personal Achievement Award in recognition of his signicant contributions and strategic vision in lead-
ing the ASW Panel. He represents the United States to the NATO Maritime Science and Technology Experts
Committee and served as its Committee Chairman from 2010 to the present. In 2011, he was appointed to the
NATO Science and Technology Reform Implementation Team. He was elected to Pi Mu Epsilon, the Honor-
ary National Mathematics Society, while an undergraduate at Clarkson University. Dr. Franchi is a member of
the Acoustical Society of America and past member of the Mathematical Association of America. From 2004 to
2013, he volunteered his time to serve on the Board of Directors of the NRL Federal Credit Union.

Dr. r.M. beviLACquA
Basic Responsibilities
The Remote Sensing Division is the Navy’s center of excellence for remote sensing research and develop-
ment, conducting a program of basic research, science, and applications aimed at the development of new
concepts for sensors and imaging systems for objects and targets on the Earth, in the near-Earth environment,
and in deep space. The research, both theoretical and experimental, deals with discovering and understand-
ing the basic physical principles and mechanisms that give rise to target and background emission and to
absorption and emission by the intervening medium. The accomplishment of this research requires the de-
velopment of sensor systems technology. This development eort includes active and passive sensor systems
to be used for the study and analysis of the physical characteristics of phenom ena that give rise to naturally
occurring background radiation, such as that caused by the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, as well as man-
made or induced phenomena, such as ship/submarine hydrodynamic eects. The research also includes
theory, laboratory, and eld experiments leading to ground-based, airborne, and space-based systems for use
in such areas as environmental remote sensing (including improved meteorological support systems for the
operational Navy), astrometry, astrophysics, surveillance, and nonacoustic ASW. Special emphasis is given to
developing space-based platforms and exploiting existing space systems.

The Oceanography Division conducts basic and applied research in description and modeling of biologi-
cal, physical, and dynamical processes in open ocean, regional, and littoral areas; in exploitation of satellite,
airborne, and in situ sensors for environmental characterization; and in investigation and application of
microbial processes to Navy problems. The oceanographic research is both theoretical and experimental in
nature and is focused on understanding and modeling ocean, coastal, and littoral area hydro/thermodynam-
ics, circulation, waves, ice dynamics, air-sea exchange, optics, and small and microscale processes. Analytical
methods and algorithms are developed to provide quantitative retrieval of geophysical parameters of Navy
interest from state-of-the-art sensor systems. The Division work includes analysis of biological processes that
mediate and control optical properties of the oceans, coastal, and littoral regions, and microbially induced
corrosion/metal-microbe interaction. The Division programs are designed to be responsive to and to antici-
pate Naval needs. Transition of Division products to the DoD, Navy systems developers, operational Navy,
and civilian (dual use) programs is a primary goal. The Division’s programs are coordinated and interactive
with other NRL programs and activities, ONR’s research programs, and other government agencies involved
in oceanographic activities. The Division also collaborates and cooperates with scientists from the academic
community and other U.S. and foreign laboratories.

Mr. P.G. Wilhelm was born in New York City. He attended
Purdue University, where he received a B.S.E.E. degree
in 1957. By 1961, he had completed all the course work for an
M.S.E. degree from George Washington University.
From 1957 to 1959, Mr. Wilhelm served as an electrical engi-
neer with Stewart Warner Electronics where he was assigned
to a project to redesign the UPM-70, a Navy radar test set. In
March 1959, he joined the Naval Research Laboratory as an
electrical scientist in the Electronics Division. In December 1959,
he joined the Satellite Techniques Branch. In 1961, he became
Head of the Satellite Instrument Section; in 1965, he became
Head of the Satellite Techniques Branch; and in 1974, Head of
the Spacecraft Technology Center. In these positions, he performed satellite system design, equipment devel-
opment, environmental testing, launch operations, and orbital data handling. In 1981, he was named Super-
intendent of the Space Systems and Technology Division, the Navy’s principal organization, or lead labora-
tory, for space. He is credited with contributions in the design, development, and operation of more than 100
scientic and Fleet-support satellites. He has been awarded ve patents. In October 1986, he was appointed
Director of the newly established Naval Center for Space Technology. The Center’s mission is to “preserve
and enhance a strong space technology base and provide expert assistance in the development and acquisi-
tion of space systems which support naval missions.”
Mr. Wilhelm has been recognized with numerous awards including the Navy’s Meritorious Civilian

Basic Responsibilities
The Space Systems Development Department (SSDD) is the space and ground support systems research
and development organization of the Naval Center for Space Technology. The primary objective of the SSDD
is to develop command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnais-
sance (C4ISR) hardware and software solutions to space, airborne, and ground applications to respond to
Navy, DoD, and national mission requirements with improved performance, capacity, reliability, eciency,
and/or life cycle cost. The Department must derive system requirements from the mission, develop architec-
tures in response to these requirements, and design and develop systems, subsystems, equipment, and imple-
mentation technologies to achieve the optimized, integrated operational space, airborne, and ground system.
These development responsibilities extend across the entire space/airborne/ground spectrum of hardware,
software, and advanced technologies, including digital processing and control, analog systems, power, com-
munications, payload command and telemetry, radio frequency, optical, payload, and electromechanical
systems, as well as systems engineering.

Publications, Presentations, and Patents
The Navy continues to be a pioneer in science and engineering developments and a leader in applying
these advancements to military requirements. The primary means of informing the scientic and engineer-
ing community of the advances made at NRL is through the Laboratory’s technical output — reports, articles
in scientic journals, contributions to books, papers presented to scientic societies and topical conferences,
patents, and inventions.
The gures for calendar years 2012 and 2013 presented below represent the output of NRL facilities in
Washington, DC; Bay St. Louis, Mississippi; and Monterey, California.
In 1986, Congress enacted the Federal Technology Transfer Act in an eort to encourage the commercial
use of technology developed in Federal laboratories. The Act allows Government inventors and the labora-
tories where they work to share the royalties generated by commercial licensing of their inventions. Also,
the Act encourages the establishment of Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs)
between laboratories such as NRL and non-Federal entities such as state and local governments, universities,
and business corporations. Such cooperative R&D agreements can include the allocation in advance of patent
rights on any inventions made under the joint research eort.
The 1986 Act has given additional impetus to the Laboratory’s eorts to patent important inventions aris-
ing out of its various research programs.

Professional Development
Programs for NRL Employees
e Human Resources Oce supports and provides
traditional and alternative methods of training for employ-
ees. NRL employees are encouraged to develop their skills
and enhance their job performance so they can meet
the future needs of NRL and achieve their own goals for
growth.
One common study procedure is for em ploy ees to
work full time at the Laboratory while taking job-related
courses at universities and schools local to their job site.
e training ranges from a single course to undergraduate,
graduate, and postgraduate course work. Tuition for train-
ing is paid by NRL. e formal pro grams oered by NRL
are described here.
Graduate Programs
e Advanced Graduate Re search Program
(formerly the Sabbati cal Study Program, which began in
1964) enables selected profes sion al employees to devote
full time to re search or pursue work in their own or a
related eld for up to one year at an insti tution or research
facility of their choice without the loss of regular sal ary,
leave, or fringe bene ts. NRL pays all travel and moving
expenses for the em ployee. Criteria for eligi bili ty include
professional stature consistent with the applicant’s oppor-
tunities and experi ence, a satis factory program of study,
and ac ceptance by the facility selected by the appli cant.
e pro gram is open to em ploy ees who have completed six
years of Feder al ser vice, four of which have been at NRL.
e Edison Memorial Graduate Train ing Program
enables employees to pursue graduate studies in their
elds at local universi ties. Par tici pants in this program
work 24 hours each workweek and pursue their stud-
ies during the other 16 hours. e criteria for eligibility
in clude a minimum of one year of service at NRL, a bach-
elor’s or master’s degree in an appropriate eld, and profes-
sional standing in keeping with the candi date’s opportuni-
ties and expe ri ence.
To be eligible for the Select Graduate Training Pro
gram, employ ees must have a bachelor’s degree in an
appropri ate eld and must have demon strated ability and
aptitude for ad van ced training. Students accepted into this
pro gram receive one-half of their salary and benets and
NRL pays for tuition and travel expenses.
e Naval Postgrad uate School (NPS), lo cated in
Monterey, Califor nia, pro vides gradu ate pro grams to
en hance the techni cal prepara tion of Naval ocers and
civil ian em ployees who serve the Navy in the elds of
science, engi neer ing, opera tions analy sis, and manage-
ment. NRL employees desiring to pursue grad uate studies
at NPS may apply; thesis work is ac complished at NRL.
Participants con tinue to receive full pay and bene ts
during the period of study. NRL also pays for tuition and
travel expenses.
In addition to NRL and university oer ings, applica-
tion may be made to a number of note worthy programs
and fellowships. Exam ples of such opportu nities are the
Capitol Hill Workshops, the Legislative Fellowship
(LEGIS) program, the Federal Executive Institute (FEI),
and the Executive Leader ship Pro gram for Mid-Level
Employees. ese and other pro grams are announced
from time to time, as schedules are published.
Continuing Education
Under graduate and graduate courses oered
at local colleges and universities may be subsidized by NRL
for em ploy ees interest ed in improving their skills
and keep ing abreast of current devel op ments in their elds.
NRL oers short courses to all employees in a number
of elds of inter est including administrative subjects, and
su pervisory and manage ment tech niques. Labora tory
em ploy ees may also at tend these courses at non gov ern ment
facili ties. HRO advertises training opportunities on the
online Billboard, HRO website, and in the email newsletter,
HRO Highlights.
For fur ther infor ma tion on any of the above Gradu-
ate and Continuing Education programs, contact the
Employee Development and Management Branch (Code
1840) at (202) 767-8306 or via email at Training@hro.nrl.
navy.mil.
e Scientist-to-Sea Program (STSP) pro vides oppor-
tunities for Navy R&D labo ratory/center personnel to go
to sea to gain rst-hand insight into operational factors
aecting system design, performance, and operations on a
variety of ships. NRL is a participant of this Oce of Naval
Research (ONR) program. Contact (202) 404-2701.
Professional Development
NRL has several programs, profes sional soci ety chap-
ters, and informal clubs that en hance the professional
growth of employees. Some of these are listed below.
e Department of the Navy Civilian Employee
Assistance Program (DONCEAP) provides conden-
128
tial assessment, referral, and short-term counseling for
employees (or their eligible family members) regarding
personal concerns to help avoid adversely aecting job per-
formance. Types of personal concerns may include chal-
lenging relationships (at work or at home); dealing with
stress, anxiety, or depression; grief and loss; or substance
abuse. e DONCEAP also provides work/life referral
services such as live or on-demand webinars; discussion
groups; and advice on parenting, wellness, nancial and
legal issues, education, and much more. Contact (844)-
366-2327 or visit http://donceap.foh.hhs.gov/.
e NRL chapter of Women In Science and Engi-
neering (WISE) was established to address current issues
concerning the scientic community of women at the NRL
such as networking, funding, work-life satisfaction, and
eective use of our resources. We address these issues by
empowering members through the establishment of a sup-
portive and constructive network that serves as a sounding
board to develop solutions that address said issues, and
then serve as a platform in which members work together
to implement these solutions. e NRL chapter of WISE
has started several new initiatives for the 2013-2014 year,
including a seminar series entitled “Working Smarter Not
Harder at NRL — Eective Use of Our Resources” and a
Science as Art competition, which is open to all NRL sites.
Membership is open to all employees. For more informa-
tion, contact (202) 404-3355.
Sigma Xi, e Scientic Research Society, encour-
ages and acknowledges original investigation in pure
and applied science. It is an honor society for research
scientists. Individuals who have demonstrated the ability
to perform original research are elected to membership
in local chapters. e NRL Edison Chapter, comprising
approximately 200 members, recognizes original research
by presenting annual awards in pure and applied science to
two outstanding NRL sta members per year. In addition,
an award seeking to reward rising stars at NRL is presented
annually through the Young Investigator Award. e
chapter also sponsors several lectures per year at NRL on a
wide range of topics of general interest to the scientic and
DoD community. ese lectures are delivered by scien-
tists from all over the world. e highlight of the Sigma
Xi Lecture Series is the Edison Memorial Lecture, which
traditionally is given by an internationally distinguished
scientist. Contact (202) 767-5528.
e NRL Mentor Program was estab lished to provide
an innovative approach to profes sional and career training
and an environ ment for per sonal and professional growth.
It is open to per manent NRL employees in all job series
and at all sites. Mentees are matched with successful, expe-
rienced colleagues having more technical and/or manage-
rial experience who can provide them with the knowledge
and skills needed to maximize their contribution to the
success of their immediate organization, to NRL, to the
Navy, and to their chosen career elds. e ulti mate goal of
the program is to increase job pro ductivity, creativity, and
satis faction through bet ter communication, under standing,
and train ing. NRL Instruction 12400.1B pro vides policy

Programs for Non-NRL Employees
Several programs have been estab lished for non-
NRL professionals. ese programs encour age and sup-
port the participation of visiting scientists and engineers
in research of interest to the Labo ratory. Some of the pro-
grams may serve as step ping-stones to Feder al careers
in sci ence and technology. eir objective is to en hance
the quality of the Labor atory’s research activi ties through
working associations and interchanges with high ly capa-
ble scien tists and engineers and to provide opportunities
for out side scientists and engineers to work in the Navy
labora tory environ ment. Along with en hanc ing the Labo-
ratory’s research, these pro grams acquaint participants
with Navy capabili ties and concerns and may provide a
path to full-time employment.
Postdoctoral Research Associateships
Every year, NRL hosts several postdoctoral research
associates through the National Research Council (NRC)
and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)
postdoctoral associateship and fellowship programs. ese
competitive positions provide postdoctoral scientists and
engineers the opportunity to pursue research at NRL in
collaboration with NRL scientists and engineers. Research
associates are guest investigators, not employees of NRL.
NRL/NRC Cooperative Research Associateship
Program: e National Research Council conducts a
national competition to recommend and make awards to
outstanding scientists and engineers at recent postdoc-
toral levels for tenure as guest researchers at participat-
ing laboratories. e objectives of the NRC program are
(1) to provide postdoctoral scientists and engineers of
unusual promise and ability opportunities for research on
problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible
with the interests of the sponsoring laboratories and (2)
to contribute thereby to the overall eorts of the Federal
laboratories. e program provides an opportunity
for concentrated research in association with selected
members of the permanent professional laboratory sta,
oen as a climax to formal career preparation.
NRL/NRC Postdoctoral Associateships are awarded
to persons who have held a doctorate less than ve years
at the time of application and are made initially for one
year, renewable for a second and possible third year.
Information and applications may be found at http://www.
national-academies.org/rap. To contact NRL’s program
coordinator, call (202) 404-7450 or email nrc@hro.nrl.
navy.mil.
NRL/ASEE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: e
ASEE program is designed to signicantly increase the
involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and
engineers from academia and industry in scientic and
technical areas of interest and relevance to the Navy. Fel-
lowship awards are based upon the technical quality and
relevance of the proposed research, recommendations by
the Navy laboratory, academic qualications, reference
reports, and availability of funds.
NRL/ASEE Fellowship awards are made to persons
who have held a doctorate for less than seven years at the
time of application and are made for one year, renewable
for a second and possible third year. Information and
applications may be found at http://www.asee.org/nrl/. To
contact NRL’s program coordinator, call (202) 404-7450 or
email asee@hro.nrl.navy.mil.
Faculty Member Programs
e Oce of Naval Research Summer Faculty
Research and Sabbatical Leave Program provides for
university faculty members to work for ten weeks (or
longer, for those eligible for sabbatical leave) with profes-
sional peers in participating Navy laboratories on research
of mutual interest. Applicants must hold a teaching or
research position at a U.S. college or university. Contact
NRL’s program coordinator at sfrp@hro.nrl.navy.mil.
e NRL/United States Naval Academy Coopera-
tive Program for Scientic Interchange allows faculty
members of the U.S. Naval Academy to participate in
NRL research. is collaboration benets the Academy
by providing the opportunity for USNA faculty members
to work on research of a more practical or applied nature.
In turn, NRL’s research program is strengthened by the
available scientic and engineering expertise of the USNA
faculty. Contact NRL’s program coordinator at usna@hro.
nrl.navy.mil.
Professional Appointments
Faculty Member Appoint ments use the special skills
and abilities of faculty members for short periods to ll
positions of a scientic, engi neer ing, professional, or
analyti cal nature at NRL.
Consultants and experts are employed because they
are outstanding in their elds of specialization or because
they possess ability of a rare nature and could not nor-
mally be em ployed as regular civil servants.
Intergovernmental Person nel Act Ap point ments
temporarily assign person nel from state or local gov-
ernments or educa tional institu tions to the Federal Gov-
ernment (or vice versa) to improve public services ren-
dered by all levels of government.

e Pathways Intern Program (formerly STEP and
SCEP) provides students enrolled in a wide variety of edu-
cational institutions, from high school to graduate level,
with opportunities to work at NRL and explore Federal
careers while still in school and while getting paid for the
work performed. Students can work full-time or part-time
on a temporary or non-temporary appointment. Students
must be continuously enrolled on at least a half-time basis
at a qualifying educational institution and be at least 16
years of age. e primary focus of our Non-temporary
intern appointment is to attract students enrolled in
undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering,
computer science, or the physical sciences. Students on
non-temporary appointments are eligible to remain on
their appointment until graduation and may be noncom-
petitively converted to a permanent appointment within
120 days aer completion of degree requirements. Conver-
sion is not guaranteed. Conversion is dependent on work
performance, completion of at least 640 hours of work
under the intern appointment before completion of degree
requirements, and meeting the qualications for the posi-
tion. e Temporary intern appointment is initially a one
year appointment. is program enables students to earn
a salary while continuing their studies and oers them
valuable work experience. NRL’s Pathways Intern Program
opportunities are announced on USAJOBS four times per
year. Visit USAJOBS at https://www.usajobs.gov/ to create
