Army Research Program Review and Analysis Committee (RPAC)

Completed

The report authored by the Army Research Program Review and Analysis Committee (RPAC) summarizees the committee's findings, conclusions, and recommendations resulting from its review of the In-house Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) conducted at the Army's Research, Development, and Engineering Centers.

Description

Under the oversight of the Army Science, Technology, and Research Studies (ASTARS) Board, a committee to be named the Research Program Review and Analysis Committee (RPAC) will review a subset of the Army's research programs. This continual review will include research activities at all RDECs (Army Research, Development and Engineering Centers), ERDC (Army Engineer Research and Development Center), MRMC (Medical Research and Materiel Command), ARI (Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences), and SMDTC (Space and Missile Defense Technical Center); but not PEOs (Program Executive Offices). Currently, some reviews of this nature exist (examples being the National Academies reviews of the Army Research Laboratory and programs that are not in a Science & Technology Objective (STO) or Army Capability Enabler (ACE)), and this is not to be a duplication of what exists.

At the completion of each program review (each program review is anticipated to be completed within a year) the RPAC will deliver a program review report summarizing the findings of its review. Each program review report will be prepared by the RPAC on the basis of inputs received from its review subcommittees.
