The Post-tenure Faculty Support project provides support to select mid-career tenured faculty through a competitive, peer-reviewed, outcomes-oriented process. It provides tenured associate professors with career development support that allows them to focus on their scholarship at a critical juncture in their career. This investment in the career development of this select group of faculty who have been successful has the main goal of positioning them for further success.
Activities to date:
- Developed and implemented an application process for mid-career faculty
- Reviewed applications and awarded funding to 6 individuals
Next Steps:
- Focus on increasing utilization of the program
- Evaluate progress reports from first award cohort
- Monitor progress to promotion as appropriate
