National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF) Program: The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will receive applications for the National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowships (NSSEFF) Program. The Department of Defense (DoD), Office of the Director, Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E) has established the NSSEFF program with the following objectives: provide extensive, long-term financial support to distinguished university faculty scientists and engineers to conduct unclassified, fundamental research on topics of interest to DoD; ensure that our nation has an active, long-term, well informed, and aggressive research and engineering portfolio that attracts creative and energetic scientists, engineers, and their students. The Fellowship is open to U.S. citizens whose earned Ph.D. was awarded within the past 25 years. Accredited, degree-granting educational institutions may nominate distinguished faculty scientists and engineers to receive National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowships. The Fellows will be selected based on competitive evaluations of the scientific and technical merit of the nominees white papers and proposals. It is anticipated that as many as 10 fellowships will be awarded each fiscal year. Each Fellow will receive up to $3,000,000 in long-term financial support (up to $600,000 per year for up to five (5) consecutive years) to conduct fundamental research on topics of interest to DoD. Fellows are expected to produce quantifiable research results over the five-year period of the grant. Fellows are also expected to participate in all NSSEFF activities. Although the intent for the fundamental research is to be unclassified, each Fellow must hold a Secret security clearance. The NSSEFF program will expose Fellows to classified information necessary to inform the objectives, approach, and conduct of their fundamental research. A current Secret security clearance is not required at the time of application. However, Fellows must be granted and maintain a final Secret clearance to receive program funding. Grants will be made to the Fellows university in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, but the award is portable with the individual Fellow. The Fellows will be required to be full and active participants in all NSSEFF activities, provide annual reports of research progress and financial management to the Department, and brief DoD leadership in person at least once each year on their research progress and results. Research topics should be aligned with the Desired Capabilities S&T Investment Areas or the Enabling Technology Investment Areas or from the 2007 Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E) Strategic Plan. Before selecting research topic(s), a thorough reading the Strategic Plan is highly recommended. Additional details are available at: http://www.dod.mil/ddre/doc/Strategic_Plan_Final.pdf
