Although request for release time support has typically come most strongly from the humanities, arts and social sciences, all faculty are eligible. In reviewing proposals to the RRF, the faculty committee has sought to balance the awards to represent roughly the proportion submitted from various schools and colleges seeking funding. Faculty members in all campus units are eligible to apply for all RRF programs. Applications for the Fall Round are available approximately mid-June and are due the last Monday in September. RRF Spring Round applications are available in late December and are due the first Monday in March.
Departments receive application packets several weeks in advance of the deadline.
For a copy of the application and the new program descriptions, contact your department chair. Contains general information regarding the purpose and mission of the fund, eligibility, applications allowed, and deadlines in addition to instructions for preparing a proposal for submission.
