About the Faculty Sabbatical Program
The
Faculty Sabbatical Program is aimed at providing sabbatical opportunities
to faculty members from minority serving institutions (MSIs) to facilitate
entry of their faculty members into the research funding mainstream.
The
Faculty Sabbatical
Program will provide half and full sabbatical research opportunities for
faculty members from MSIs to enhance their research capabilities as well
as the research capacity of their home institution. The program will provide
support for up to one year of direct research with resident Nation
al
Laboratory scientists on research projects specific to the faculty member's
areas of investigation and courses they teach. The Faculty Sabbatical
activity is designed for each MSI faculty member to work with a National
Laboratory scientist on a well-funded focused research project of the
faculty member's choice. This will not only enhance the faculty members’
scientific expertise, but also develop their abilities and support their
efforts to apply for and receive grants from the Office of Science and
other granting institutions. The
final required outcome for each faculty member is to submit a grant proposal
to a federal agency.
