National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF)
Abstract
NSSEFF helps to ensure that DoD has an active, long-term and aggressive research portfolio that attracts the foremost creative, innovative, and productive university researchers and their students. Objectives of the program are to: • Support scientific research that may lead to extraordinary outcomes for the DoD. • Educate and train outstanding student and post-doctoral researchers for the DoD and national security workforce. • Foster long-term relationships between outstanding university researchers and the 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 that are contributing to DoD’s mission and upon whom DoD may draw to serve on advisory boards, panels, and groups. The program funds distinguished university researchers at our Nation’s leading universities to conduct innovative basic research in areas of interest to DoD. Ensuring that students are actively engaged in conducting research funded by the DoD is an important priority. In addition, NSSEFF Fellows forge research partnerships with DoD labs.
