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 six new awards per year. FY 2011 to FY 2012 funding increase 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.
