Faculty grant, program guidelines now available

The specific guidelines for three 2006-07 UW–Madison faculty grants and programs are now available.

Faculty professional development grants: The purpose of the faculty development grant is to give faculty members release time to add to their competencies, either through acquiring new competencies within their principal fields or through work in a related field.

Research service grants: The purpose of the Faculty Research Grant Program is to supplement the research opportunities available to untenured faculty who have given unusually large amounts of time and effort to university service outside their own departments. The program will provide summer salary support (2/9th of the academic year salary or equivalent) for the grantees to pursue worth projects.

Sabbatical leaves: The purpose of the sabbatical leave is to provide faculty members who have completed six or more years of full-time UW System instructional service released time to engage in intensive study to enhance teaching, course and curriculum development, or conduct research or any other scholarly activities related to instructional programs within their field of expertise.
