For the NDSEG fellowship, I have read that it's important to choose a specialization that's related to one or more areas that the DoD funds. That's fine, but what if my proposed research uses one specialization area (Remote Sensing and Imaging Physics) to study another (Arctic and Global Prediction)?*
Does it make the most sense to pick the one that I feel is more relevant (e.g. "Arctic and Global Prediction"), put them both as specialization (e.g. "Remote Sensing and Imaging Physics, Arctic and Global Prediction"), or combine them in a shortened way (e.g. "Remote Sensing of the Arctic Environment")? I'm leaning towards the third option, but I'm wondering what other people think and just how specific the specializations are supposed to be.
I know I'm overthinking this, but any help/advice would be appreciated!
*Specialization areas changed slightly to maintain anonymity, but these work fine as an example.
