National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF)
Abstract
NSSEFF supports innovative basic science and engineering research within academia, as well as education initiatives that seek to create and develop the next generation of high-performing scientists and engineers for the defense and national security workforce in areas of interest to DoD. It also seeks to foster long-term relationships between the NSSEFF Felllows, who are distinguished university researchers, their students and postdoctoral scientists and the DoD. NSSEFF Fellows conduct basic research in core science and engineering disciplines that underpin future DoD technology development. NSSEFF awards are funded up to $850K annually for up to five consecutive years. Approximately ten awards are funded each year. By FY 2012, NSSEFF will support a steady state of up to 50 researchers and engage, without additional funding, at least double that number of graduate students and post-docs.
