OpportunityTitle: ARL RESEARCH ASSOCIATESHIP PROGRAM (RAP)
Description: The purpose of this United States ARL RAP PAA is to solicit offers from interested Applicants to establish a program to provide scientists, engineers and postsecondary students of unusual promise and ability opportunities to engage in research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the Government and will potentially contribute to the general efforts of ARL. The RAP will further science and technology through fundamental research, with this research having potentially both civilian and military applications. Under the RAP, scientists, engineers and postsecondary students are sought and selected as Fellows. Selected Fellows will perform fundamental research, applying their knowledge and talents to research areas that are of interest to them and potentially to ARL. A selected Fellow may or may not be an employee of the Recipient1 (i.e., the individual could be a self-employed Fellow), but a selected Fellow will not be an employee of ARL, the Army or the Federal Government. A selected Fellow will not perform any service directly for the benefit or use by ARL, but rather will perform scholarly fundamental research at ARL which should embody original ideas of the individual. To facilitate Fellow selection, the Recipient will execute a competitive application process that involves an individual writing and submitting a research proposal for evaluation under the RAP. ARL will also participate in this application process by providing a written evaluation of the research proposal. It is important that a research proposal be consistent with, and complements, ARL facilities and interests, supporting or stimulating ARL basic and applied research programs.
