R&D Statements of Need In FY08, the Corps of Engineers Research Directorate, a part of Corps Headquarters, initiated a new process for developing R&D programs. The process starts with statements of need from Corps field offices. Those needs become requirements for research and development. The needs are ultimately prioritized by headquarters and given to the Research Directorate to tackle. Gateway pages (see links below) have been developed for four research areas to provide the capability for field offices to review existing statements of need and submit new statements of need that address field requirements that would benefit from R&D investment. |
