AIR FORCE 2000 SUMMER FACULTY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM (SFFP) Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) 2000 Summer Faculty Fellowship Program (SFFP) Application Deadline Date: June 5, 2000 (all application materials must be received at the National Research Council by this date). PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: To complement research efforts and build critical links between Air Force scientists and their counterparts in the academic community, AFOSR announces the year 2000 Summer Faculty Fellowship Program. This program is administered by the National Research Council (NRC) which provides the oversight and administrative structure for the selection and appointment of applicants. The laboratory facilities and research support are provided by the host Air Force laboratory where the Summer Faculty awardees will be in full time residence for the duration of the summer award. No other employment or remuneration is permitted during the period of the award. Under the SFFP, US college, university, or technical institute faculty members (known as SFFP fellows) perform mentor-based research in areas of interest to the Air Force in Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) research facilities. The objectives of the Summer Faculty Fellowship Program are to stimulate professional relationships among SFFP fellows and the scientists and engineers in AFRL Technical Directorates and other Air Force research facilities; enhance the research interests and capabilities of faculty (both new and experienced researchers) in the US academic community; elevate the awareness in the US academic community of Air Force research needs and foster continued research at SFFP fellows' institutions; provide the faculty fellows opportunities to perform high-quality and meaningful research at AFRL Technical Directorates and other Air Force research facilities; provide nationally accredited mentoring of academic researchers at AFRL Technical Directorates and other Air Force research facilities. During the summer the faculty, under the mentorship of Air Force researchers, will conduct research at Air Force research facilities for a continuous period (other than federal holidays and weekends) of six (6) to eleven (11) weeks between July 17 to September 30, 2000 (for subsequent years, the program will be for eight (8) to fourteen (14) weeks between April 1 to September 30). SFFP fellows may choose to perform their research at the Air Force facilities listed below, but only in those research areas listed and approved for the AFRL Associateship Program and with NRC approved Research Advisers. The Summer Faculty Fellows must submit a research report at the completion of their summer appointment. The participating Technical Directorates plus the Air Force Academy are: AFRL Directorates Office Symbol Air Vehicles AFRL/VA Directed Energy AFRL/DE Human Effectiveness AFRL/HE Information AFRL/IF Materials and Manufacturing AFRL/ML Munitions AFRL/MN Propulsion AFRL/PR Sensors AFRL/SN Space Vehicles AFRL/VS US Air Force Academy USAFA Each SFFP award is for one summer. The SFFP fellow may reapply for and possibly receive awards for up to two additional summers (3 total). SFFP fellows are awarded in two categories or levels: Early Career Investigator and Senior Investigator. Fellows receive a stipend based on the level of the award, along with living allowances if the researcher resides more than 50 miles from the selected AFRL laboratory. The stipend rates for the 2000 program year are Awardee Level Weekly Stipend Early Career Investigator $800 Senior Investigator $1200-$1500 To be eligible, applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents; currently be a full-time faculty member of an accredited baccalaureate-granting US college, university, or technical institution; and have an earned Ph.D. in science or engineering. Fellows must be eligible for access to unclassified government information systems; the fellowship award is subject to a successful background review and visit authorization that includes approved access to the Air Force base and its laboratory facilities.
