Description:
NASA's Education Division, Higher Education Branch, in cooperation with the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), awards approximately150 first-year summer fellowships to engineering and science educators. The Summer Faculty Fellowship Program is designed to further the professional knowledge of engineering and science faculty and NASA scientists and engineers, and contribute to the ongoing research at NASA facilities. The program provides an excellent opportunity for faculty to establish contacts with NASA researchers and generally learn more about to access the agency's resources.

Those selected for participation will receive a weekly stipend of $1,000, plus travel expenses, and a relocation allowance. Fellows spend ten weeks working at a NASA Field Center on a research project designed in collaboration with a NASA sponsor. Their working experience is supplemented with enrichment activities such as short courses, workshops, and seminars. Participating faculty members must be U.S. citizens with teaching or research appointments in a U.S. university or college, and have two years experience. Complete program information, including application forms, descriptions of the various research opportunities, and contact information for each of the participating centers is available on line.  The application deadline is February 1 and appointments are in March.
