Under this project, the fellow will participate in the development of a small to medium custom database application using complete software development lifecycle process. Work accomplished will comply with established standard operating procedures and adhere to Agency business practices. Research efforts could focus on the overall understanding of the interconnected and network of relationships of this environment, available software tools and technologies, and application testing and analysis to certify functionality. Additional work could include technical writing.
