The cooperative agreement between the NPS and the Eppley Institute outlines the expected outcomes for completed research. These outcomes include:

• determine employee-perceived importance of specific job related competencies as they pertain to overall "performance" of an employee’s duties
• determine employee-perceived degree of preparation for completion of specific, job-related competencies
• determine gaps between competency importance and preparation
• analyze employee and supervisor differences in perceptions of importance and preparation
• analyze differences between entry level, developmental, and full performance level employees
