When an applicant is selected as a Visiting Research Fellow, they will be notified by the INSS Front Office via an e-mail containing their appointment letter and a DD Form 2793 Volunteer Agreement. The appointment will become effective after the Visiting Research Fellow signs and returns the appointment letter and the Volunteer Agreement.
In addition to signing the agreement acceptance page in the appointment letter which describes the period and the work intended to be accomplished during his/her uncompensated service appointment as a Visiting Research Fellow, he/she will be required to sign the included DD Form 2793 Volunteer Agreement. Part II, Block 9 on that form includes a statement of certification that identifies the Visiting Research Fellow’s relationship to the United States Government during the period of his/her appointment.
