The College of Education Summer Research Award provides one month of summer salary for tenured and tenure-track professors in the College of Education to concentrate on research during the summer. Awards are to be used to for research purposes. Priority will be given to those preparing grant submissions due by the end of fall 2024 and to those working on other major projects due by end of fall 2024 that require dedicated time to accomplish (see below for more information).

Eligibility

Assistant professors are eligible for an SRA after their third year in-rank (i.e., after six long sessions). Faculty who have summer salary (in summer 2024) as part of a College package, were awarded a Research Reboot, FDL or FDA award, or who were awarded a summer research award (SRA) last summer (2023) are not eligible. Applicants must notify their department chairs of submission of an SRA.

Return-to-Service Requirement.

The recipient is expected to return to normal duties at the University for at least one academic year—Sept. 1 through May 31—following the award. A recipient who elects to leave the university without returning for an academic year is obligated to reimburse the university for funds.
