The mission of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is to shape the future Naval force, anticipate capability requirements, and to provide the Science and Technology (S&T) foundation needed for our Navy and Marine Corps to maintain a decisive technological advantage. Its vision is to be the preeminent S&T organization, recognized both inside and outside the Department of the Navy, as the place to go with good ideas and innovative concepts. ONR inspires and guides breakthrough innovations and transitions state-of-the-art technology solutions to the Navy and Marine Corps. The Portfolio Director of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is responsible for cross-disciplinary research programs and for education and career development programs that increase the supply and capabilities of scientist and engineers engaged in activities that improve Navy and Marine Corps capabilities. Two of these programs, the Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) and the Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP), provide an opportunity for students to participate in research at a Department of Navy (DON) laboratory during the summer. Details of these current programs can be found on the ONR website at http://www.onr.navy.mil/en/Education-Outreach.aspx. The goals of NREIP and SEAP are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further their education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DON research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DON.
