ODU Faculty Receiving Nationally Competitive FellowshipsIt is the policy of the university to encourage and support faculty who apply
for and receive nationally competitive fellowships that provide a significant
portion of their salary (e.g. Fulbright, NEH, NEW, German Marshall, etc.) The
goal of this policy is for faculty members to remain on contract, receiving
their current salary and full benefits. The assumption on which the policy
is based is the reality that, while providing outstanding recognition for ODU
faculty, these fellowships pay less than the average faculty member's
current salary.
The following are the procedures and terms for full-time faculty members
receiving such fellowships: If a faculty member is applying for a fellowship, he/she must consult the
chair and dean to allow them to plan for future semesters and to be assured
that the fellowship being sought meets the criteria of this policy (e.g.,
nationally competitive). In addition, there may be a limit to the number
of fellowships supported over a period of time for one person. When the university's
share of the faculty member's salary exceeds 50%, full benefits will
be paid. If the university's share is less than 50%, the specifics
will be dealt with on an individual basis at the point of application.
If the granting agency will pay the award directly to the university,
then the faculty member remains on his/her current salary and the department/college
will use the award as purchase release time to support the department and
college in which the faculty member resides.
If the granting agency (e.g., Fulbright) will only pay the faculty member
directly, then the university will top off the award so that the faculty
member maintains his/her current salary. This will be based on the stipend
amount only.
Fellowship money provided for maintenance and travel expenses is to be
excluded from these calculations.
These policies do not apply to faculty receiving fellowships for the summer
only, as faculty are not on contract to the university.
Faculty members must return for one year of full-time university service
following the period of the fellowship. Therefore, those on terminal contracts
are not eligible.
