Objectives
The objectives of the Young Investigator Program (YIP) are to attract to naval research outstanding new faculty members at institutions of higher education, to support their research, and to encourage their teaching and research careers. ONR anticipates making about 24 new awards in Fiscal Year 2007 to academic researchers who have received Ph.D. or equivalent degrees on or after 1 November 2001.
Awards
Awards of up to $100,000 per year for three years, with the possibility of additional support for capital equipment or collaborative research with a Navy laboratory, are made, based on research proposals and supporting materials. Special attention will be given to proposals in naval priority research areas, listed in the announcement. In addition, it is anticipated that two of these applicants receiving an ONR Young Investigator award will also be selected to receive a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
Eligibility
This program is open to U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents holding tenure track or permanent faculty positions at U.S. institutions of higher education who have received graduate degrees (Ph.D. or equivalent) on or after the date published in the full announcement.
