<h1 class="page-header">Purpose of the NASA Postdoctoral Program </h1>
<p>The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) supports NASA’s goal to
expand scientific understanding of the Earth and the universe in
which we live. </p>
<p>Selected by a competitive peer-review process, NPP Fellows
complete one- to three-year Fellowship appointments that advance
NASA’s missions in earth science, heliophysics, planetary science,
astrophysics, space bioscience, aeronautics and engineering, human
exploration and space operations, and astrobiology. </p>
<p>As a result, NPP Fellows contribute to national priorities for
scientific exploration; confirm NASA’s leadership in fundamental
research; and complement the efforts of NASA’s partners in the
national science community. </p>
