Chancellor's Research Awards
Announced
The award-winners in two University-wide research
competitions have been announced recently:
Chancellor's Research
Fellowships
The Chancellor's Research Fellowship program offers
an opportunity for release time from teaching for
one semester to eligible faculty engaged in
long-term research projects. This competitive
program is designed to support and promote
long-term research projects that cannot be funded
via other, more traditional avenues. Proposals are
evaluated by a peer review committee.
