Office of Naval Research special research awards in ocean acoustics

Abstract

The Ocean Acoustics Team of the Office of Naval Research manages the Special Research Awards that support graduate traineeship, postdoctoral fellowship, and entry-level faculty awards in ocean acoustics. The graduate traineeship awards provide for study and research leading to a doctoral degree and are given to individuals who have demonstrated a special aptitude and desire for advanced training in ocean acoustics or the related disciplines of undersea signal processing, marine structural acoustics and transducer materials science. The postdoctoral fellowship and entry-level faculty awards are similarly targeted. These programs were started as a component of the National Naval Responsibility in Ocean Acoustics to help ensure a stable pipeline of talented individuals would be available to support the needs of the Navy in the future. They represent only a fraction of the students, postdocs, and early faculty researchers that are actively involved the basic research supported by the Ocean Acoustics Program. ...
