Vicki Lord Larson and James Larson Tenure-track Time Reassignment Collaborative Research Program

The goals of this program are to support tenure-track (pre-tenure) faculty as they develop their scholarship in preparation for tenure consideration; and to encourage them to do so in collaboration with students. The grant is intended to facilitate scholarly dissemination through professional presentations and/or peer-reviewed publication, in order to advance the faculty member's career, and to provide a meaningful scholarly experience for a student (or students). The proposed project may be new or may already be in progress. 

Award

Funds are available to support a course reassignment of up to 3-credits during the academic year or a $5000 summer stipend for the faculty member and student scholarship(s) of up to $2,000.

Eligibility

UW-Eau Claire faculty who are on tenure track and have not been awarded tenure at the time of application and during the award period (i.e., the following year) are invited to apply.

The student researcher may be identified at the time of application or at a later date with the qualifications for the student researcher detailed in the application. 

Deadline for Application: January 15

*If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date will be extended to the following Monday.
