ASP Faculty Fellowship Program
NCAR Advanced Study Program
Faculty Visits and Sabbaticals
University faculty identify an NCAR collaborator and then apply for residencies of three months to one year; preference is given to early career faculty and those at UCAR member universities and academic affiliates. Students (undergraduate, graduate) or postdoctoral fellows may accompany the faculty member for part or all of the visit. This program also supports NCAR staff visits to universities.

Solar and upper atmospheric research
HAO Scientific Visitors Program
NCAR High Altitude Observatory
HAO research spans the solar interior, atmosphere, corona and heliosphere, plus Earth's atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere, as well as those of other planets. Radiative transfer, hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, radiation hydrodynamics, and plasma physics are pursued both for their fundamental physical interest and for their applications to these research areas. Participants collaborate with members of the HAO scientific staff and other long-term visitors on these topics during visits lasting from a few days to a year.

ASP Faculty Fellowship Program
NCAR Advanced Study Program
NCAR Staff Visits to Universities
The faculty fellowship program enables NCAR scientists to spend time in residence at U.S. universities, with an emphasis on UCAR member universities and academic affiliates. This program also supports faculty visits to NCAR.
UVisit: University Visits in Scientific Interaction and Teaching
UCAR University Relations Program
The UCAR President’s Office sponsors UVisit to enable scientists and engineers at NCAR and UCAR to spend significant time at U.S. universities for collaborative research, teaching, lectureships, workshops, and similar activities. The emphasis is on extended, focused time in residence at UCAR member universities and colleages, and member institutions are encourated to submit visit requests. UVisit supplements the ASP Faculty Fellowship Program listed above.
