Faculty Research and Artistic Endeavor

• Allows you to pursue a research or creative project
• Improves your teaching
• Strengthens Manchester College

Manchester College invites proposals from its faculty members for research and artistic endeavor to be conducted during the summer 2008 in an area of the faculty member's academic interest.  The Faculty Development Committee will consider proposals after March 3, 2008 and announce the names of successful applicants by April 14.  Monetary awards up to $1000 will be available for funded projects, and checks must be picked up by June 13 so that the fiscal year closes properly.  A report of research activity and expense will be submitted by each recipient to the Office of Academic Affairs by September 3. 

                                     Maximum Award:  $1000

The proposal should include the purpose of the proposed research or artistic creation, a summary of the research activities, a proposed budget (stipend, supplies, travel), a bibliography, a time-action plan, and a specific plan for what you will do with the research when it is completed.  The Faculty Development Committee will review proposals and recommend funding.  A report of the work must be submitted to OAA by September 3 following the summer's work.  Persons who receive summer grant funding are expected to return to teach at the College the following fall.
