Eligibility is also based on Evidence that the home university agrees to the sabbatical or research leave for the period for which SURA support is requested, and Evidence of scientific and oversight support from a collaborator at the JLab. Assistance in arranging a collaborator may be obtained from the JLab Office of University Relations. Awardees must undertake full-time research at the JLab for the duration of the award. Individuals may not receive more than one award in a five year period. Preference will be given to new applicants over previous awardees.
Awards are for a minimum of six months and a maximum of twelve months.
The award is designed to assist in providing for expenses, such as travel or lodging, of faculty who must relocate their place of residence to take up full time research at the JLab. Receipt of sabbatical or research leave support from SURA neither excludes the possibility of receiving salary support from the JLab nor guarantees such support. As noted above, JLab can assist applicants in locating appropriate collaborators. SURA can modify starting or ending dates on request. SURA may consult references other than those named by the applicant.
