This fellowship opportunity is open tostudents pursuing advanced degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM). The goal of NSTRF is to provide the nation with a pipeline of highly skilledengineers and technologists to improve America's technological competitiveness. NASASpace Technology Fellows will perform innovative space technology research while buildingthe skills necessary to become future technological leaders.Selected candidates will perform graduate student research both on their respectivecampuses and at NASA Centers and, in the future, also at nonprofit U.S. Research andDevelopment (R&D) laboratories. Subsequent calls will provide a list of all labs withwhich NASA has negotiated agreements. In addition to his or her academic advisor, eachstudent will be matched with a technically relevant and community engaged researcher whowill serve as the students professional mentor. Through this experience, students willadvance their STEM education, gain relevant research experience and learn the researchprocess.
