National Naval Responsibility for Naval Engineers (NNRNE) program was established by the Office of Naval Research in 2001 to help ensure the future US capability to develop creative and innovative ship designers and designs to effectively meet defense needs and commercial market opportunities. It was also recognized that the universities need to sustain an adequate research expertise, through working on long-term problems of importance to the Navy, so that an adequate pipeline of new researchers, engineers, and faculty exists to meet these anticipated future needs and opportunities. The program led to the formation of several university consortia for participation in the program.
