The LAS Program of Faculty Study in a Second Discipline offers faculty an opportunity to extend their scholarship through study in a separate field. Awards are limited to a maximum of three FTE Fellows per academic year. These funds may be expended as the unit chooses.
Awards are on a competitive basis.
Competition is limited to tenured faculty of the college, and the study may take place in any campus unit. Fellows are required to report on their activity at the close of the period of study. There must be a demonstrated relationship between the individual's primary field of specialization and the new discipline. Application for study in a field which the applicant already employs in current work is not acceptable. The executive officer of the home department must authorize the program.
