The committee will meet the last week of January and April to consider applications for Faculty Development grants. Funds are limited and may not be available late in the year. The deadline for applications is the 15th of the month in which the committee meets. The committee wishes to stress to applicants the necessity of first applying elsewhere for funds to support a project. The committee's meetings are timed to allow those faculty not receiving funding from the University Research Committee to apply to the Career Development Committee.
Regular faculty can submit one proposal per year for funds to support early stage research projects.
Fall semester applications are due in late September. Spring semester applications are due in Mid-January. Application forms for these programs and a list of the criteria to be used in evaluating proposals are attached. If you are a first-time applicant or are otherwise unfamiliar with the application process or the interpretation of guidelines, please consult with either your department chair or your representative to the committee. All tenured faculty members are eligible to apply for a Sabbatical leave if the year of application is the sixth year of service without a Sabbatical.
