GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The purpose of this MARADMIN is to announce the
selection board results for the second half CY26 Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Service Chiefs Fellowship Program
(SCFP). The DARPA SCFP (DSCFP) convenes quarterly and lasts
approximately 12 weeks. The purpose of the fellowship is to
familiarize Marines with DARPA's functions and efforts as the
Department of War's advanced Science and Technologies (S&T)
organization in order to stimulate innovative improvements in the
Corps, and to facilitate experimentation and transition of novel
capabilities into the fleet. Upon completion of their assignment to
the DSCFP, fellows serve as informal liaisons between DARPA and the
services based on the close relationships developed during the
program and an enhanced understanding of the DARPA technology
development process.
2. Selection to the second half CY26 DSCFP was extraordinarily
competitive with a large number of highly qualified applicants.
Considerations included program objectives, operational experience,
academic background, MOS diversity, and current assignment. Primary
and alternate candidates are identified. Those not selected are
encouraged to reapply in the future. Selectees should contact the
