These grants are intended to supplement the sabbatical leave stipend or to supplement grants received from an outside body to make possible a full-year leave of absence. All faculty members, tenured and untenured, are eligible to apply for Faculty Leave Supplements. Grants can also be made to support a semester's leave for someone ineligible for a sabbatical. Should the Committee have to decide between two proposals of equal merit, only one of which comes from an individual with an approved upcoming leave, preference will be given to that person. An applicant should make clear to the Committee the special benefit to be gained from a leave of absence or the addition of a semester to a sabbatical semester.
Awards are for amounts up to two-thirds of one semester's salary.
Applicants do not need to state their salaries in their applications, as the final calculations will be made in the Dean's Office. The Committee will not have access to confidential salary information. Grants will be made for research projects of a specific and substantive nature. Title of project. Any relationships between previously funded projects and the current research must be described.
