Description
Proposals for the Faculty Summer Research Fellowship ($3,000) are now being accepted. These fellowships are for Summer 2026. The purpose of this award is to encourage faculty to engage in research or creative activity that will enhance their professional growth. All tenure-track or tenured faculty members are eligible. Faculty who are in the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) are not eligible to receive these awards.
This award consists of a summer stipend that must represent a minimum of 120 hours of activity at a flat rate of $3,000. Alternatively, faculty may request that the funds be used for professional development (travel, supplies, student assistant, etc.). A proposed project shall not duplicate any other project already funded from any other source within the university.
