Science, Math, and Research for Transformation (Smart): The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is interested in receiving proposals in support of the Science, Math, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Defense Education Program National Defense Education Act is part of a concentrated effort by the office of the Director, Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E) to improve the flow of new, highly skilled technical labor into Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories and Agencies and to enhance the technical skills of the workforce already in place. The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is the executive agent for the SMART program. This activity augments efforts of other programs such as; the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship Program (NDSEG), National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program, and the Naval Research Lab Fellowships. The program mission requires an effective and efficient advertising and recruitment program that is distributed widely among U.S. citizens interested in graduate and undergraduate science and technology (S&T) programs. Support is also needed to facilitate the process of collecting application materials, evaluating applicants, and administration of awards made. The SMART program encompasses undergraduate and graduate students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines in U.S. colleges and universities in the following disciplines: Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering Biosciences, Physiology Chemical Engineering Chemistry Civil Engineering Cognitive, neural, and Behavioral Sciences, Psychology Computer and Computational Sciences Electrical Engineering Geosciences Materials Science and Engineering Mathematics Operations Research Mechanical Engineering Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Oceanography Physics, Physical Sciences
