Vicki Lord Larson and James Larson Tenure-track Time Reassignment Collaborative Research Program
Supporting Tenure-track Faculty in Research
This program encourages tenure-track faculty to collaborate with students.
A. Background
The goals of this program are to support tenure-track faculty as they develop and enhance their scholarship in preparation for tenure consideration, and to encourage them to do so in collaboration with students. The intention is to provide a meaningful scholarly experience for students, and to result in scholarly dissemination through professional presentations and/or peer-reviewed publication, that advances the faculty member's career.
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.
B. Eligibility
- UW-Eau Claire faculty member on tenure track
- Student researcher identified, or qualifications for student researcher established
C. Writing Guide
Submit a proposal to ORSP@uwec.edu. This should include:
- Narrative (3-4 pages)
- Description of the research project goal(s), context and significance, and plan, including roles of each member of the collaborating team
- Timeline
- Plan for mentoring the student researcher
- Plan for dissemination of results
- Professional vita
Please ask your chair to submit an email indicating support for the project and how it benefits your progress towards tenure, and to also include a plan for covering courses and expected costs.
D. Deadline for Application
Proposal is due to ORSP October 19, 2021. Please submit via email to orsp@uwec.edu with the subject line Tenure Track Time Reassignment.
