The SVC challenge is to visually represent and explain electronic warfare (EW), which takes place within the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). The EMS is all around us in everyday life, but most people do not even realize the extent to which they rely on it and on cyberspace - remotely unlocking the car, turning on the television, using wireless networks and smart phones, electronic sensors that give drivers better situational awareness, and so much more. Our military deals with the EMS every day, and spectrum control and superiority are at the heart of EW - a complex and challenging field, requiring truly innovative and leap-ahead technology solutions. EW is critical to global security, in peacetime and wartime. Recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have proven that control of the spectrum can save lives, just as it did in countering remote controlled improvised explosive devices. In fact, future conflicts will be decided by EW and control of the EMS, something we can't even see.

Through the program, two grants of $25,000 will be awarded to graduate student researchers interested in exploring the gut microbiome, probiotics, and yogurt and how they help support and maintain human health and wellness. Topics may include the role that probiotics or yogurt play on brain function, growth and development, digestive health, weight management or heart health; and factors such as foods or nutrients that influence the gut microbiome. The grant is not designed for the investigation of disease treatment or clinical management and should focus on health and wellness, long-term health and longevity, growth and development, and/or performance.
