R -- NAVY SUMMER FACULTY RESEARCH/SABBATICAL LEAVE PROGRAM SOL N00014-97-R-0001 POC Mrs. Glynis Fisher, ONR 251, (703) 696-2602. The Office of Naval Research plans to issue during the month of October 1996, an RFP for a contractor to plan, arrange and conduct the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Navy Summer Faculty Research and Sabbatical Leave Program. This Program assists the Navy laboratories in carrying out their research programs and increases the professional interactions between academic researchers and Navy personnel. For the Summer Faculty Research Program, science and engineering faculty members from universities and colleges spend ten weeks conducting research at approximately 19 Navy laboratories, about 500-600 faculty members apply each year, and about 150 are selected to participate. The Sabbatical Leave Program provides faculty members the opportunity to conduct research at Navy laboratories while on sabbatical leave from their institution. The objective of this program is to encourage the involvement of creative, capable and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia in research areas of great interest and relevance to the Navy. The contractor will continuously monitor the program, assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of methods employed and advising the government of opportunities to improve the program. Parties interested in receiving this RFP must submit a written request and three self-addressed mailing labels to the above address, Attn: ONR 251:GMF. Only written requests for copies of the RFP will be honored. It is expected that a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract will be negotiated. A CBD notice for this work originally appeared on 04 March 1996 (0248)
