The purpose of this MARADMIN is to announce the  selection board results for the first half CY25 Defense Advanced  Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Service Chiefs Fellowship Program  (SCFP). The second half calling message for CY25 will be released  shortly. 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 DOD'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 first half CY25 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  listed MARADMIN POCs via email to confirm their availability.
