Funded under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA #12.300), the grant will allow San Diego State University to provide educational opportunities and hands-on experience to ROTC students in these emerging technical fields with potential applicability to naval operations through December 31, 2022. The Basic and Applied Scientific Research program aims to stimulate research with potential to improve naval capabilities and train future innovators in science and technology. This award will further those goals by exposing ROTC students to cutting-edge topics over the 15-month period of performance.
