SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM) EFFORTS AT NAVY LABS
Abstract
Description: 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 is created starting in FY 2013 to highlight Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) efforts at Navy labs that were previously funded within the Ocean/Space Sciences activity in this PE. The increase in the STEM Efforts is in response to the Secretary of the Navy's commitment to doubling the Navy's investment and establishing a strong naval STEM program over the next five years.
