Research Scholar
UW- Green Bay's
Research Council is please to accept proposals for the Research
Scholar Program:
Generous support
from the Office of the Provost continues to make possible this
program which will provide a three-credit course release to the
successful applicant. The Research Scholar will be able to use the
time afforded by the release to work on his or her scholarship.
The call for
proposals is open to all full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty
members at UW- Green Bay. One Research Scholar will be selected for
the Spring 2009 semester. The Scholar may choose to use the course
release in the Fall 2008 semester with evidence of the approval of
their departmental chair. The Scholar will be expected to work on a
specific research project and generate a tangible product
during the semester of work (e.g., grant proposal, draft of a
manuscript, book proposal, preparation of creative works for
exhibition/performance/publication). Time may be used to develop a
new project (e.g., grant proposal), to complete an existing one
(e.g., final chapters of a book) or to complete a distinct stage of
a larger ongoing project.
Goal: To encourage continuing research endeavors by UW-Green Bay faculty.
Applications: Application materials should
include the following materials. They must be submitted to the
Institute for Research Office (WH 303) by
