Dear Fellow MAC Members,

I thought some of you might be interested in applying for the opportunity below.  --- Lillie Fears



The application for the Office of Naval Research Summer Faculty Research Program will be closing in less than one month!!

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsors the Summer Faculty Research Program (SFRP) for U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents who hold teaching or research appointments at U.S. colleges and universities. These programs provide an opportunity for science and engineering faculty members to participate in research of mutual interest to the faculty member and professional peers at U.S. Navy laboratories.

The Summer Faculty Research Program is a on-site, continuous 10-week program, beginning in May 2006.   Stipends range from $1400 to $1900 per week for the summer program. Each fellow will be reimbursed for his/her personal travel for an optional pre-program visit to the sponsoring laboratory.  Relocation assistance is provided to qualifying fellows.

The program is residential and all work must be completed on-site at the sponsoring U.S. Navy laboratory. Faculty members from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority Institutions, American Indian Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HBCU/MI/TCU/HIS), as designated by the U.S. Department of Education, are especially encouraged to apply.

The application deadline for the 2006 Summer Faculty Research Program is December 1, 2005
