OBJECTIVES:  The objectives of the program are: to foster
advanced level study in simulation and training research; to enhance
and expand the theoretical and practical knowledge of how to train the
operators and users of complex systems and how to simulate the
real-world environments in which they function; and to disseminate the
results of that research through lectures, seminars, and
publications.  Preference will be shown to proposals dealing
directly with simulation and training and which explore ideas not yet
fully tested. While in the past most fellowships have come from
Engineering and Computer Science Departments, the sponsor is
encouraging applicants from other disciplines to apply with innovative
simulation modeling and training ideas.

ELIGIBILITY
The applicant should be working full time towards a degree in an
established Doctoral program at a U.S. or Canadian academic
institution.

FUNDING
A grant totaling $25,000 will be awarded. This award includes a
stipend of $21,500; $2,500 is available for expenses associated with
the research; the remaining $1,000 is to help defray publication costs
of the student's research results and/or to support the fellow's
attendance at technical meetings. (esm)
