Office of Naval Research Summer Faculty Research Program
and Sabbatical Leave Program

What are my chances?

In recent years ASEE has been able to offer appointments to approximately 25% of the applicants. Some participating centers have large programs, and some have small programs. The estimate is based on recent years' participation; the actual number could be larger or smaller than the estimate.

I've been at the same stipend level for several years how do I move to the next stipend level?

When deciding appointment levels the committee looks to see if the applicant has made any improvements in his/her area or field of research.  For example, just to name a few,  they are looking to see how many first author papers you have published, or how many conferences you have attended and presented papers.  All this information can be listed on the Summer Faculty Application.

I am a professor at my university will I automatically receive the Distungished Summer Faculty level?

The appoitment levels are not based on tenue, but on your accomplishments in your area or field of research.
