This bill amends federal law to allow employees of the United States Naval Academy to receive grant funding from other federal agencies while they are on unpaid leave during the Academy's regular ten-month pay schedule. Currently, federal law generally prohibits employees from receiving additional compensation from other sources during periods when they are technically on leave. The legislation creates an exception specifically for Naval Academy staff who are between pay periods due to the Academy's standard calendar, allowing them to access research grants from agencies like the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and NASA without violating federal compensation rules. This change affects Naval Academy employees and federal research agencies that fund academic and scientific work. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, as it simply clarifies eligibility rules for existing grant programs.
