Description: Research is encouraged on the premise that active inquiry in one’s field fosters excellence. An instructor’s firsthand involvement in current problems and methods of inquiry benefits all students, particularly those who go on to graduate school. The intent of the program is to provide seed money for projects that are new and likely to lead to future funded research. Awards generally range between $1,000 and $3,000 and may be used for personal compensation and/or research support. Note that international faculty possessing an H1B Visa are assessed a fringe benefit rate on salaries of 42.67%. As such, international faculty members are strongly encouraged to contact RSPO prior to completing the budget to discuss means to maximize the awards based on individual needs and visa status. Awards to those with 12-month appointments support a replacement during the investigator’s project period. Award recipients receiving a stipend cannot teach more than one session during the summer. New faculty members are especially encouraged to apply. Application guidelines and application can be accessed by downloading one of the following files:
