NASA Glenn Faculty Fellowship Program
Research executed by participating faculty is aligned with one or multiple of NASA Glenn’s six Areas of Expertise which are Aircraft Propulsion; Communications Technology and Development; Space Propulsion and Cryogenic Fluids Management; Power, Energy Storage and Conversion; Materials and Structures for Extreme Environments; and Physical Sciences and Biomedical Technologies in Space. In addition, faculty members have the opportunity to work on one of several near-term focused research areas
Goals
The NGFFP seeks to: Enhance faculty professional knowledge via cutting-edge research at NASA Glenn; Stimulate faculty-Glenn exchange of ideas; Enrich the research and teaching at US academic institutions by infusing NASA mission-related research and technology content into classroom teaching; and Contribute to in-house research, technology and engineering work and objectives of Glenn, towards advancing the NASA mission.
Scope
Each participant of a fellowship at NASA Glenn will:
- Engage in a continuous, full-time summer Glenn fellowship, without concurrent teaching elsewhere;
- Participate in the NGFFP at Glenn full-time for the complete 10 consecutive weeks
- Present their research outcome(s) at Glenn Research Center, at near-end of the Fellowship;
- Submit a final written report on their research, on the last day of the Fellowship
- Disclose to NASA Glenn full information on fellowship-derived new technology (which is or may be patentable), including any new process, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, or software;
2024 NGFFP Additional Focused Areas are:
- Research Area/Topic #1: Propulsion, gas turbine combustion, transcritical fuel spray mixing
- Research Area/Topic #2: Mixed gas refrigerant study for integrating cryocoolers with large cryogenic tanks
Eligibility/Requirements
The opportunity is open to US citizens. Minority Serving Institutions (MSI’s) and women, under-represented and underserved faculty members, as well as, early career faculty are encouraged to apply.
