Reassigned Time Awards

The purpose of these awards is to support faculty scholarship, which is broadly defined as problem solving through conceptual means that can be evaluated and presented to others.  Scholarship involves one or more of the four forms: 1) Discovery; 2) Integration; 3) Application; 4) Teaching. Applicants should determine a specified scholarly goal they wish to achieve, considering the impact of said scholarly goal, as well as the potential for future development of scholarly outcome from various external sponsored support resources.

Award duration is limited to one academic semester. Apply in the fall for reassigned time during the following winter. Apply in the winter for reassigned time during the following fall. Awards will correspond to release time of between one and four (1-4) load credits. Generally a faculty member will apply for one award per semester, but applications for two awards per semester will be considered.

DEADLINE: 1/19/24 - Winter 2024 (applying for Fall 2024 award); Dept rankings due 2/2/24; MAX AWARD: 4 credits
