Comment period extended for NNH11ZDA014J The Astrophysics Technology Fellowships for Early Career Researchers

The goals of the proposed Astrophysics Technology Fellowship (ATF) program would be to give early career researchers the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to lead astrophysics flight instruments/projects and become principal investigators (PIs) of future astrophysics missions; to develop innovative technologies that have the potential to enable major scientific breakthroughs; and to foster new talent by putting early-career instrument builders on a trajectory towards long-term positions.

The comment period for NNH11ZDA014J, The Astrophysics Technology Fellowships for Early Career Researchers: Draft ROSES-11 program element, has been extended to Monday, July 18, 2011.
