Spring 2025 research semester work applications due July 1

  • Application deadline for spring 2025: Monday, July 1

To support faculty members in their lifelong development as scholars, the Mary Frances Early College of Education provides an opportunity for faculty members to engage in pursuits that improve their scholarship, revitalize their creative energy, and inform them of new and innovative knowledge and practices with the ultimate goal of developing and enhancing their scholarship through a research semester. To support this development, a faculty member may request one semester for intensive research in which they are released from instruction (up to two courses) and institutional service activities.

  • Eligibility: Tenured faculty members who have been employed by the College for at least five years are eligible to apply. Administrators (department heads, associate deans) are not eligible.

Please review the program and guidelines for applying.
