Join us for the 21st Annual Acquisition Research Symposium, to be held May 8-9, 2024. 

The Acquisition Research Symposium is a research-focused forum that connects scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. Attendees come from around the world; about half are Naval Postgraduate School faculty and graduate students engaged in acquisition-related research. Senior acquisition officials from the Departments of Defense and the U.S. Navy serve as keynote speakers and panel chairs, presenting their critiques and comments on research papers and priorities.

This year our symposium takes up the theme of “Resourcing Innovation.”  We have a robust collection of panels that consider challenges and successes in providing the right resources – to include not just funding, but also people, training, acquisition authorities, time, supply chains, etc. – that can generate, transition, and deliver new warfighting capabilities and strategies. 

Co-hosted by the Naval Warfare Studies Institute and Acquisition Research Program at Naval Postgraduate School.
