Program Goal Is To Improve U.S. Competitiveness In Tech
Sector
NASA is seeking applications from graduate students for the
agency's new Space Technology Research Fellowships. Applications
are being accepted from accredited U.S. universities on behalf of
graduate students interested in performing space technology
research beginning in the fall of 2011.
The fellowships will sponsor U.S. graduate student researchers
who show significant potential to contribute to NASA's strategic
space technology objectives through their studies. Sponsored by
NASA's Office of the Chief Technologist, the fellowships' goal is
to provide the nation with a pipeline of highly skilled engineers
and technologists to improve America's technological
competitiveness. NASA Space Technology Fellows will perform
innovative space technology research today while building the
skills necessary to become future technological leaders.
"Our Space Technology Graduate Fellowships will help create the
pool of highly skilled workers needed for NASA's and our nation's
technological future, motivating many of the country's best young
minds into educational programs and careers in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics," said NASA Chief Technologist Bobby
Braun at the agency's Headquarters in Washington. "This fellowship
program is coupled to a larger, national research and development
effort in science and technology that will lead to new products and
services, new business and industries, and high-quality,
sustainable jobs. Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding young
researchers and technologists positioned to take on NASA's grand
challenges and turn these goals and missions into reality."
The deadline for submitting fellowship proposals is Feb. 23.
