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

The goals of this program are to support tenure-track faculty as they develop, enhance their scholarship in preparation for tenure consideration, and encourage them to do so in collaboration with students. The intention is to provide a meaningful scholarly experience for students, and facilitate scholarly dissemination through professional presentations and/or peer-reviewed publication, that advances the faculty member's career.

Award:

A UW-Eau Claire tenure-track faculty member may propose a project that involves at least one student researcher.  The project may be new or may already be in progress.  Funds are available to provide a student scholarship of up to $2000 and to support reassigned faculty instructional time for the equivalent of one 3-credit course during the academic year. Summer or Winterim salary may be an alternative, but projects with reassigned time will receive preference.

Eligibility:

UW-Eau Claire faculty who are on tenure track 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: to Chair or equivalent January 9, 2023

 Applicants are encouraged to touch base with ORSP prior to application.
