POLICY 4.13.2.2 - Faculty Development Fellowships
A limited number of Faculty Development Fellowships are available each year to allow faculty members to reduce their course load by approximately 25 percent in either the fall or spring semester in order to pursue a professional development project. Up to $2,500 will be made available to each Fellow’s dean for hiring adjunct faculty to ensure continuity in instruction.
All full-time faculty members who are eligible for Faculty Development Grants will be eligible for Faculty Development Fellowships.
In conjunction with the second round of Faculty Development Grants, the Faculty Development Committee will invite proposals for Faculty Development Fellowships. Application forms for Faculty Development Fellowships are available from the Office of the Provost, and completed applications should be returned to that office on or before the published deadline. Once the due date for proposals has passed, the FDC will meet (usually within one to two weeks) to evaluate the proposals. The committee may recommend a proposal for funding, not recommend it for funding, or table it pending receipt of further information. The committee’s recommendations will be made to the provost, who will take final action on the proposals; the Committee’s recommendations will also be made known, in letters, to the faculty members who have submitted proposals.
If the provost disagrees with the recommendation of the Faculty Development Committee, they must discuss the difference in evaluation with the committee before taking final action on the proposal.
Proposals for Faculty Development Fellowships will be judged on their own merits and in competition with one another. The Faculty Development Committee will be guided by the factors itemized for Faculty Development Grants, Section 4.13.2.1 .
