similar grant during the period of the fellowship. Additional honorary named
appointments intended to be linked with the title of “Hubble Fellow,” “Sagan
Fellow,” or “Einstein Fellow” are similarly not allowed.

While
the salary of the fellows is determined by the NHFP, benefits such as
retirement, family leave, etc., depending on the rules of the host institution
and whether the fellow is considered an employee or independent (stipendiary)
fellow by the host institution. Prospective fellows are strongly encouraged
to investigate the policies at potential host institutions before listing them
on their application, as changes after acceptance can be difficult, and even
impossible as host institutions reach their quota of fellows.
