From the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

After more than 50 years, NASA is conducting the first ever review of the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP).

The purpose of this review is to identify ways the NPP may be enhanced in its effectiveness and to assess the merit of its current objectives. The review team is seeking comments on the NPP from the entire SMD community, including:

  • Current and former NPP Fellows
  • Current and former NPP mentors
  • People who have hired former NPP Fellows
  • People who chose not to apply for a NPP Fellowship
  • People who chose not to accept a NPP Fellowship
  • Anyone with an opinion on the NPP program

    An online form has been populated with questions whose answers will be particularly helpful to the panel.

    Free response input on items not included is of course welcome as well (contact panel leadership below). Your answers will be anonymous as the responder information is not stored.
