Does NSF pay academic year support?
Compensation for doing research is often included as part of a faculty member’s regular salary and in those cases, academic year salary would not be appropriate. If, however, a faculty member has a teaching appointment, it may be appropriate to request academic year support. The caveat is that some NSF Divisions/Directorates have more restrictive policies with regard to academic year support than others. Therefore, the best thing to do is to check with the cognizant Program Officer to discuss the issue.
