National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF)
Abstract
NSSEFF ensures that DoD has a research portfolio that supports the foremost creative, innovative, and productive university researchers, and their students and trainees. Objectives of the program are to: • Support scientific research that may lead to breakthroughs for DoD. • Educate and train outstanding student and post-doctoral researchers in support of DoD and national security research areas and the DoD technical workforce. • Foster long term relationships between outstanding university researchers and DoD. • Familiarize select university researchers and their students with DoD’s current and future scientific and technical challenges. • Increase the number of exceptionally talented technical experts who contribute to DoD’s mission and upon whom DoD may draw to serve on advisory boards, panels, and groups. The program funds distinguished researchers at our Nation’s leading universities to conduct innovative basic research in areas of interest to DoD. Ensuring that students and trainees are actively engaged in conducting research with world-class researchers that are funded by DoD is an important priority. In addition, NSSEFF Fellows forge research partnerships with DoD labs.
