Faculty members from four-year universities in the United States, who are eligible for sabbatical according to their institution's requirements, may participate. Faculty in the biological, physical, social and cultural sciences are encouraged to participate. In some cases, yes. Housing arrangements are made by the individual park unit and may include options for families as well. Some parks may not have available housing.
Parks are often remote with rudimentary housing and facilities.
A park sabbatical liaison at the park will be the initial contact. You may work more closely with other individuals, as appropriate, upon arrival in the park. There are no deadlines for arranging a sabbatical. Faculty should submit their interest form well in advance of their sabbatical, so that the necessary arrangements can be made. Even if your sabbatical is not immediately scheduled, consider submitting a Faculty Sabbatical Interest Form.
