Funding Criteria

• Is the student pipeline material?
• Is the research sufficiently pulsed-power oriented to be of value to the overall program?
• Does the sponsorship help to build strong, long-term relationships among academics, faculty, and the technical line organization?
• Is the research cross-cutting so that pulsed power activities across the labs could benefit?

Funding Proposal Should Include

• Qualifications of the student and professor to conduct the research
• Description of how project benefits the student and furthers his/her career plans
• Proposed funding sources and durations
• Student curriculum vita/resume
• Contact information for student, professor, advisor, and Sandia staff

Funding Uses

• Sponsor entry of undergraduate students into graduate school via fellowships such as National Physical Sciences Consortium
• Professional development
• Conferences and off-site presentations
• Equipment
• Telecommute travel and equipment
• Short courses/lecture series
• Others determined on a case-by-case basis
