Description
The
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award (YFA)
program aims to identify and engage rising stars in junior faculty positions in
academia and equivalent positions at non-profit research institutions and
expose them to Department of Defense (DoD) and
National Security challenges and needs. In particular, this YFA will provide
high-impact funding to elite researchers early in their careers to develop
innovative new research directions in the context of enabling transformative
DoD capabilities. The long-term goal of the program
is to develop the next generation of scientists and engineers in the research
community who will focus a significant portion of their future careers on DoD and National Security issues. DARPA is particularly
interested in identifying outstanding researchers who have previously not been
performers on DARPA programs, but the program is open to all qualified
applicants with innovative research ideas.
