Committee members will not have access to this information. All faculty are eligible to apply to this fund, and priority will be given to applications requesting sabbatical leave supplement support. One Porter Fellowship will be awarded for 2000-2001. The guidelines for submitting an application for a Porter Fellowship are the same as for the Faculty Development Fund, with the added expectation that the advanced study or research project must be conducted at a university. While it may not be possible to arrange for a formal letter of invitation from the host institution to be included in the application, it is strongly recommended that a letter from a contact at the university, even an informal e-mail communication, accompany the application.
Funding is conditional on the faculty member s actually going to the university specified.
