Vanderbilt University/Institute for Space and
Defense Electronics (ISDE)Task 04-056
Description
Benefits

Key benefits include the ability to tap into an
acknowledged base of expertise for a minimal cost
while providing funding for students who become
available to the aerospace community.
Vanderbilt University/ISDE is the recognized
academic leader in support of radiation hardening
and radiation effects research including
technology modeling. The majority of Vanderbilts
funding is from DoD, but much of the work is
applicable to NASA missions and needs. With a
relatively small investment, NASA can access a
wide base of technical capabilities and define
specific tasks for NASA needs.
