Presidential Early Career Award in Science & Engineering (PECASE)
The National Science & Technology Council (NTSC) sponsors PECASE awards to recognize outstanding young scientists and engineers at the outset of their careers. The PECASE embodies the high priority placed by the President on maintaining the leadership position of the US in science by producing outstanding scientists and engineers and nurturing their continued development. The Awards will identify a cadre of outstanding scientists and engineers who will broadly advance science and the missions important to the participating agencies.
The PECASE recognize some of the nation's finest scientists and engineers who, while early in their research careers, show exceptional potential for leadership at the frontiers of scientific knowledge during the 21st century. The Awards foster innovative and far-reaching developments in science and technology, increase awareness of careers in science and engineering, give recognition to the scientific missions of participating agencies, enhance connections between fundamental research and national goals, and highlight the importance of science and technology for the nation's future. The awards are conferred annually at the White House following recommendations from participating agencies.
To be eligible for the PECASE, an individual must be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident with no more than five years from receipt of the doctorate degree. Each award will be $200K per year for five years. AFOSR awardees will be selected from among highly qualified institute of higher education principal investigators to the AFOSR or former National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) fellowship recipients. Candidates must hold tenure-track positions at U.S. universities. An individual wishing to apply for the program must be nominated by an AFOSR program manager and have a proposal that addresses Air Force research interests as described in the current BAA.
