<div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style> </span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style>The</span> Office of Naval Research (ONR) will host its biennial Naval Science and Technology (S&T) Partnership Conference October 22-24 in Arlington, Virginia. Similar to events hosted by ONR’s Army and Air Force counterparts, the conference provides researchers interested in ONR with the opportunity to hear from agency leadership about current priorities and to learn about how specific research ideas may align with them. As Lewis-Burke Associates LLC has previously <span style>reported, the significant autonomy enjoyed by DOD program managers in making funding decisions enhances the importance of building personal relationships and raising profile by attending events like the S&T Conference. Anticipated speakers at the event include Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, Chief of Naval Research Matthew Klunder, Marine Corps Commandant James Amos, and other senior Navy officials. ONR program managers will also attend, which provides an excellent networking opportunity for interested researchers to engage with staff on future ONR research objectives.</span><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
