PRESIDENTIAL EARLY CAREER AWARDS (PECASE)
Abstract
PECASE awards are made to academic scientists early in their research career for extremely prestigious single-investigator research in areas of vital importance to the Navy. Awards provide national recognition and research grants of up to $200K per year for five years. OSD, with policy and oversight responsibility for the PECASE program, directed that the number of PECASE awards be set at four new awards per year. FY 2012 funding increase reflects need to cover 15 PECASE awardees chosen in FY2008. The decrease in funding from FY2012 to FY2013 reflects the effect of ASD(R&E)'s direction to fund only four new PECASE starts per year.
