To apply for a Junior Faculty Mentor Grant, an application must be completed, outlining the proposed research and indicating how the funds will be used. The senior faculty member must include a brief description of the assistance he or she plans to offer the applicant. Travel costs are not allowed, nor are supplies and expenses ordinarily provided by the department or school. The application should include the signatures of the junior faculty member, the mentor, and the department chair. Applicants will be notified in writing when the award decisions have been made.
Several departments have formal mentor arrangements.
Assistant professors should ask their department chairs about the correct procedure for acquiring a mentor.
