CY20 DARPA Service Chiefs Fellowship Program (SCFP) Selection Results

1.  The purpose of this MARADMIN is to announce the selection board results for the CY20 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Service Chiefs Fellowship Program (SCFP).  The DARPA SCFP convenes quarterly and lasts approximately 12 weeks.  The intent of this program is to increase the awareness of key Marine Corps commands of DARPA technology development efforts as well as enhance the professional development of Marine Corps top officers.  Upon completion of their assignment to the SCFP, fellows serve as informal liaisons between DARPA and the services based on the close relationships developed during the program and an enhanced understanding of the DARPA technology development process.<br>
2.  Selection to the CY20 DARPA SCFP was competitive with a number of highly qualified applicants.  Considerations included program operational experience, academic background, MOS diversity, and current assignment. Alternates will be notified for participation as additional spaces become available.  Those not selected are encouraged to reapply in future years.  Request that selectees contact MARADMIN POCs via email to confirm your availability for the quarter in which the SNO was selected.<br>
