Research Centers

Several Research Centers of Excellence have been established at NPS under the auspices of the Associate Provost and Dean of Research . 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. Every Center supports the NPS educational mission and displays a clear benefit to NPS, the Navy and/or DoD.
