SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM) EFFORTS AT NAVY LABS
Abstract
This effort will support both the Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) and the Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program (NREIP) summer programs to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further their education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DoN research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DoN. Participating students will spend eight to ten weeks during the summer doing research at approximately 19 to 20 DoN laboratories. Participants will receive a stipend distributed by the Contractor. The stipend is a monthly allowance paid to interns for their participation in the research efforts. This activity was separated from ILIR in FY 2013 to highlight Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) efforts at Navy labs previously funded within the Ocean/Space Sciences activity in this PE. Funding increase in FY 2015 results from temporary augmentation of STEM within the PE, but the FY 2016 decrease plan rebalances the PE to focus on the NREIP and SEAP programs, scaling back on other STEM efforts.
