The Fellowship is awarded to support a specific research or instructional project. To apply, junior faculty follow the guidelines and deadlines distributed in the fall semester. Faculty must be in their first year at the UI to apply. This is a one-time opportunity, although researchers can apply anytime during their first year. The College offers several opportunities for newly hired tenure-track assistant professors to develop their teaching and research programs, including a mentoring program conducted by the Dean's Office.
Faculty receive an announcement early in the fall semester.
Researchers can apply anytime, but funds must be expended before the end of the fiscal year during which they are requested. The Iowa Measurement Research Foundation Grant Program supports research in the measurement of educational goals at the elementary, secondary, and college levels. All tenure-track faculty in the College of Education are eligible to apply. Projects are screened as received, and applicants receive notification within one month of receipt of the proposal. Notification of awards occurs before the end of the spring semester.
