The Navy STEM Program

In 2017, the University of Connecticut (UConn) and the University of Rhode Island (URI) received a grant from the Office of Naval Research to create a community of students, faculty, and government and industry leaders who will strive to expand the Navy science and technology workforce in the region. Rhode Island and Connecticut represent a critical region for the U.S. Navy.

In 2021, the Department of Defense distributed a National Defense Education Program (NDEP) grant that resumed these activities after a period of inactivity due to the conclusion of the original ONR grant.

In April 2024, Navy STEM students were able to tour the USS CALIFORNIA (SSN-781) at the Naval Submarine Base New London. We would like to thank everyone at SUBLANT Protocol for arranging such an exciting and educational experience.
