RMKS/1. The purpose of this MARADMIN is to announce the selection board results for the CY16 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’s technology development efforts as well as enhance the professional development of the 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 DARPA’s technology development process.
