FY2022 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship (VBFF) Program
Funding Agency:
- Department of Defense
The objectives of the program are to: • Support unclassified basic scientific and engineering research that could be the foundation for future revolutionary new capabilities for DoD. • Educate and train student and post-doctoral researchers for the defense workforce. • Foster long-term relationships between university researchers and the DoD. • Familiarize university researchers and their students with DoD’s current and projected future challenges. • Increase the number of talented technical experts that DoD can call upon. This FOA is for single investigator grant proposals for basic research. All awardees will receive a research grant and the title of VBFF Fellow. VBFF Fellows and their students are provided with opportunities that are designed to enhance their understanding of DoD’s critical research needs and interact with DoD senior Science and Technology (S&T) program leaders. Fellows and their students are expected to attend VBFF activities scheduled throughout the year. These activities may include an orientation meeting, site visits to DoD labs, technical workshops, and an annual meeting to report the progress of VBFF–sponsored research. VBFF Fellows may also be encouraged to serve as members of DoD advisory boards, panels, or groups.
