The Dean or Director in whose unit the grantee has his or her primary appointment must support the proposal. The UCIS Faculty Fellowship is jointly funded by UCIS and the faculty member's School or Department. UCIS contributes to replacement costs for the faculty and provides a limited research fund for use during the Faculty Fellowship. The amount of the award for replacement cost is individually negotiable between the Director of UCIS and the Dean or Director in whose unit the grantee has his or her primary appointment. Typically, a UCIS Faculty Fellowship is awarded for one semester.
Awards are limited to three per year university-wide.
There is no application form. Typically, the applying faculty member and his or her Dean approach the UCIS Director with a proposal. Deadlines Applications are accepted throughout the year. Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible to ensure availability of funds. Because the terms of the UCIS Faculty Fellowship must be negotiated individually for each case, a lead time of approximately two years is to be expected.
