Applicant Incentives

Stipend

Stipend payments for regular associates (recent Ph.D.) and senior awards (e.g. faculty or sabbatical) are based upon the discipline and area of research.

Insurance

During the period of the Fellowship, ORAU will provide group health insurance that includes medical and prescription drug coverage to eligible participants upon appointment in the program. There is no waiting period for coverage to begin.

Each plan is a preferred provider plan (PPO) with providers in all states.  In addition, ORAU will provide coverage for Accidental Medical and Accidental Death and Dismemberment.

Travel and Relocation

Fellows may be eligible for travel and relocation expenses. This includes movement of household goods from your current address to the research site, and limited professional travel, provided such travel is recommended and approved by both ARL and ORAU.
