The Ship Structure Committee (SSC) is re-soliciting research project recommendations for fiscal year 2013-2014. We are looking forward to your insightful project ideas and enthusiasm toward another successful year of SSC project completions. This year we are soliciting project recommendations a little differently. The SSC has determined research focus areas for you to make research proposals to. This provides the SSC a greater opportunity for obtaining funding in support of your research proposals. Please keep in mind that the SSC is not limited to these examples and we look forward to others you may propose. **Please consider the following when submitting your research project recommendations. The SSC typically funds two or three projects ($150K funding maximum per project idea).
