The mission of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) is to employ a unique collaborative framework to research, develop, mature, and implement industry-relevant shipbuilding as well as sustainment technologies and processes, improving efficiency and throughput across the U.S. shipyard industrial base to meet demand.  The NSRP Executive Control Board (ECB) plans to issue both Research Announcement (RA) and Panel Project Solicitations for proposals that address the Program’s mission. NSRP’s research objectives and initiatives are documented in the Strategic Investment Plan and topics are identified in the newly-updated 2026 Technology Investment Plan.
