NRL/ASEE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

摘要

From April 1, 1994 through April 30, 1998 the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) sponsored the NRL Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, administered by the American Society for Engineering Education. The objective of the program was to encourage the involvement of creative, capable and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in areas of great interest and relevance to the Navy. Participants were given the opportunity to work in a unique Navy laboratory environment while interacting with senior laboratory scientists and engineers. During the course of the grant, ASEE received 121 applications for the program, 100 of which were offered appointments and 66 fellows accepted. At the completion of their tenures, more than half of the participants took jobs at NRL or in academia. Research I productivity was high, as demonstrated by the 217 published papers, 181 conference presentations, and 20 patent applications.
