Eligibility for R&D Funding

 A. Faculty Members: All faculty are eligible, including untenured, tenured, emeriti, and temporary faculty.

There are a few important exceptions:

1.    Temporary faculty must complete their projects by the end of their contract.
2.    Part-time faculty are eligible for funding in proportion to their annual teaching duties.
3.    Individuals on non-sabbatical leaves of absence normally are not eligible for R&D support.
4.    Professional development projects are not funded for emeriti faculty.


B. Administrators: All full-time administrative officers are eligible to apply for funds in the areas of their scholarly and teaching pursuits. But, R&D does not support projects that pertain to administrative responsibilities.
