Faculty members earn a course release for every three projects successfully completed.
Even faculty members who are not requesting funds for supplies or equipment should apply to the program in order to be eligible for travel funds and for credit towards course releases. A feeling for what constitutes an acceptable Mentor-Protege Project may be obtained by looking at grants awarded April 1998 or grants awarded January 1999 Proposals are accepted at any time, and decisions are returned within two weeks of the submission date. The Assistant Dean will receive the proposals and distribute them to other committee members. For the sake of efficiency, discussion of proposals will usually be conducted electronically . Paper submissions are not accepted.
