Summary	COMFISCS WNY desires to have faculty and students of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to engage in supply chain management research involving topics that are of importance of the Program Executive Office, the Department of the Navy and the Department of Defense. In furthering this objective, funding is provided in the amount of $50K to the Naval Postgraduate School in support of research about the use of UID for tracking valuable assets in the Naval supply chain, and for the development of educational material to disseminate the respective knowledge among NPS students and members of the DoD community. NPS faculty and students will undertake specific research projects identified by COMFISCS WNY within the scope of GSBPP expertise in Supply Chain Management. If specific projects are not delineated, the Principal Investigator will apply discretion determining the use of funds towards relevant research and studies in Supply Chain Management. The deliverables will be in the form of one or more student thesis. This study is being executed as part of the partnership between COMFISCS UID Project Manager and the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy of the Naval Postgraduate School.
