Description
The
Fiscal Year 2019 Air Force Young Investigator Research Program (YIP) intends
support for scientists and engineers who have received Ph.D. or equivalent
degrees 1 April 2012 or later that show exceptional ability and promise for
conducting basic research. The program objective is to foster creative basic
research in science and engineering; enhance early career development of
outstanding young investigators; and increase opportunities for the young
investigator to recognize the Air Force mission and related challenges in
science and engineering. Individual awards are made to U.S. institutions of
higher education, industrial laboratories, or non-profit research organizations
where the principal investigator is employed on a full-time basis and holds a
regular position. YIP primary investigators must be a U.S. citizen, national, or
permanent resident. Researchers working at a Federally Funded Research and
Development Center or DoD Laboratory are not eligible
for this competition. Most YIP awards are funded at $150,000 per year for three
years, for a total of $450,000. Exceptional proposals will be considered
individually for higher funding levels and/or longer duration. Please review the
remainder of this announcement for additional information. We anticipate
approximately fifty (36) awards under this competition if funds are
available.
