ADVANCE Leadership Award Grants for Mid-Career Women Faculty
As part of our ADVANCE grant, we proposed a mid-career track, one of three tracks for advancing women into research and research leadership in multidisciplinary venues. As part of this track we are developing a competitive grant program for course buyout or other support to allow the faculty member to participate in this program. The focus is threefold: (1) to enhance research productivity, (2) to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration or entry into new research areas, and (3) to support the development of effective mentoring relationships. Request for Proposals
These funds may be used for a variety of purposes including course buy-outs, travel for research or collaboration, hiring graduate or undergraduate research assistants, equipment purchases or any other use that advances your research program and facilitates development of collaborative relationships with other researchers.
