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 increased to a maximum of 15 new awards per year. The funding increase from FY 2009 to FY 2010 reflects the fiscal impact of OSD's direction. An increase in the number of awards permits a larger number of these outstanding researchers to contribute to the DoN S&T requirements.
