Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program

The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program (S-I-R) allows institutions in the U.S. to host a scholar from outside of the United States for a semester or full academic year to teach courses, assist in curriculum development, guest lecture, develop study abroad/exchange partnerships and engage with the campus and the local community. The host institution benefits from the expertise provided, and the Scholar attains experience in the U.S. higher education arena.

Summer Scholarship and Research Program

The Summer Scholarship and Research Program (SSRP) program allows faculty to work with and mentor students over the summer (usually for 10 weeks) on research or other scholarly projects. Visit the program website for more information, including a list of formerly funded projects.

Contact the SSRP Director, David Markwardt, with any questions. 

Special Scholarly Leave

Tenured faculty may apply for Special Scholarly Leave to pursue grant-funded research or a major creative project that requires a significant time investment. Applications are reviewed by the Faculty Personnel Committee and the Provost. This is a competitive award and the call for applications is sent out via email twice per year.
