In the latest episode of Voices from DARPA, we explore our Service Chiefs Fellowship Program (SCFP). This 12-week immersive experience brings together participants from various backgrounds across the Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. agencies.
Listen to the episode: youtube.com/watch?v=PNVQICtqx2o or https://www.darpa.mil/news/podcast/idea-pollinators-darpa-service-chiefs-fellows-88
The program aims to:
▪️ Educate future leaders from military services and other agencies, helping them infuse some of the DARPA magic into their home base;
▪️Inform DARPA program managers and performers, many of whom lack military or government backgrounds, about the mission and the needs of current warfighters.
This blending of ideas fosters new connections and can even lead participants to return to the agency, as exemplified by Rob McHenry, DARPA's current deputy director and the agency's first Service Chiefs Fellow.
