Reviews (IBR)


Investment Balance Review (IBR)

September December

Departments identify program issues

requiring funding changes (up or down)

Over several days, departments give briefings on each

program issue

Over several more days, ONR directors & department heads assess impacts of

IBR briefings on their own portfolios and

submit recommendations

Designated Officials vote on IBR issues

Voting officials meet and decide which issues are highest priority and how to fund:

• Reallocate money within a department• Reallocate money across organization• Request new money (unlikely)

NNR-NE: Vision

Rationale for NNRs

NNR Objectives• Sustain robust U.S research

capability on long-term USN S&T problems

• Maintain adequate pipeline of new scientists & engineers in disciplines of unique USN importance

• Continue to provide S&T products necessary to ensure integrated naval warfare superiority

• Maritime environment is unique and complex

• Navy has historically maintained S&T programs in areas important to USN superiority

• Areas uniquely important to USN are not supported by outside investments

• Health, strength, and growth of S&T capabilities in Navy- unique areas depend on USN


NNR-NE: Selection

Determining NNRs Special Review Board

• ED recommends membership– Technical leaders in S&T

field under consideration– General technical

leadership– DSB, AFSB, ASB chairs

• Board recommends to CNR whether or not S&T area under consideration meets NNR criteria

• Board reviews NNR initiatives for continuation every 5 years

Detailed review by Special Review Board of existing ONR S&T programs to assess:

– Scope of Naval responsibility– Funding and funding trends– Scope, degree, stability, and

trend of non-Naval funding– Scientific and technical

performer base– Scientific and technical

infrastructure– Scientific and technical

knowledge base– Prospect of

integration/transition to development and acquisition programs

National Naval Responsibility

There are currently four National Naval Responsibility programs:

• Naval Engineering: Initiated Oct 2001 by ONR Memorandum

• Undersea Weapons

• Ocean Acoustics

• Undersea Medicine

Goals:

• Bridge the gap between “working Navy”

and academia.

• Enhance academics’

understanding of Navy needs.

• Stimulate research with more near term impact to Navy.

• Stimulate flow of talent to Navy.

• Graduate students with Navy research experience.
