What the grant funds

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), N0017324STS01, for the establishment of NRL's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PFP). The objective of NRL's PFP is to provide postdoctoral scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability opportunities to engage in research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the Government and will potentially contribute to the general effort of NRL. NRL's PFP will further science and technology through fundamental research, with this research having potentially both civilian and military applications. Subject to the availability of funds, this announcement will result in the award of Cooperative Agreements (CA) as defined at 31 U.S.C. 6305 for execution of NRL's PFP. The CA is subject to the Department of Defense Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs). The principal purpose of NRL's partnership with the recipient(s) is to carry out the public purpose for the support or stimulation of basic and applied research in areas of science with potential interest to NRL rather than the acquisition of supplies or services for the direct benefit of the Government. This partnership will result in bringing new talent, ideas and techniques to NRL and will also introduce emerging researchers to the roles and needs of the Warfighter. This partnership will also provide researchers access to NRL's world class research facilities, while supporting collaborative fundamental research of mutual interest to the Navy and the researcher. Substantial Government involvement is expected through the collaborative planning, management and execution of the research to be performed by the participants in the PFP and NRL. It is the intent of this FOA to solicit the most creative, innovative, and effective approaches to the execution of the NRL PFP. In response to the announcement, awardees should be prepared to: (1) Formulate an advertising plan to attract qualified applicants based on the NRL mission and capabilities.
