Description

The goal of the ONR Young Investigator Program is for the Office of Naval Research to identify early career scientists and engineers in academia and nonprofits who have the potential to contribute long-term to the advancement of the Department of Navy’s Science and Technology program. This cohort of innovators will tackle some of the most challenging naval warfighter issues by utilizing transformative approaches and pioneering new technologies. Some of the intended purposes of the ONR YIP are:· Ability of early faculty to obtain DoD research grant awards beyond YIP.· Engagement of early career faculty to the Naval Research Enterprise via the Summer Faculty Research Program, Sabbatical Leave Program, Scientists to Sea, and similar outreach activities. · Education, development, and encouragement of the next generation of scientists and engineers through knowledge transfer to undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral participants.
