NASA Glenn Research Center Faculty Fellowship Program (NGFFP)
NASA John Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, will offer a 2008 Summer Faculty Fellowship Program for qualified faculty in accredited U. S. colleges and universities, starting on May 27 for 10 continuous weeks.

Program Description
Ten-week fellowships for science and engineering faculty are available at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), Cleveland, Ohio, during the summer months. The official tenure period for 2008 is Tuesday, May 27 through Friday, August 1. The proposed research project must be of mutual interest to the prospective fellow and the GRC colleague, and aligned with GRC research and technology objectives to advance NASA mission.

The Aerospace Research and Fellowship Program is intended to provide college and university faculty with research experience to: (1) Enhance their professional knowledge; (2) Stimulate an exchange of ideas between them and employees of NASA GRC; (3) Enrich and refresh the research and teaching at their institutions through infusion of NASA mission-related research and technology content into classroom teaching; and (4) Contribute to the research objectives of GRC. Fellows work on research and development projects to complement in-house efforts by their GRC professional colleagues. Click here for additional information.

Stipends
Faculty stipend is $1,200 per week for 10 weeks

Relocation and Travel Allowances
A relocation allowance will be provided to those Fellows who live more than 50 miles from GRC. The relocation allowance may be used to defray expenses associated with a pre-fellowship tenure visit which is encouraged, if it is mutually deemed necessary by the prospective Fellow and his/her GRC colleague. Fellows who receive the relocation allowance will, also, be reasonably reimbursed for travel expenses for one round-trip from their home institutions to GRC. The combined relocation and travel allowances will not exceed $1,500 for any eligible Fellow.
