RE: Faculty Development Program Awards

I am pleased to announce that the Faculty Development Program will 
provide awards for the 2006-2007 academic year.

The purpose of these awards is to encourage the scholarly attainment 
by faculty members whose heavy involvement in University and 
community service has significantly impeded or has the potential to 
impede their progress in research or other creative activity.  One 
form of service overload is experienced by many under-represented 
faculty members who are sought out for extensive committee service 
and/or advising.  Another form of service overload may result from 
service on committees that require unusually heavy commitments of 
time.

The application instructions and cover sheet are posted on the Vice 
Provost-Academic Personnel web site at:

	http://academicpersonnel.ucdavis.edu/awards.cfm

While all faculty are eligible for awards, priority is given to 
assistant professors with worthy proposals and demonstrable need.

The program will offer one type of award.  Recipients of the quarter-
long awards will be relieved of teaching and service responsibilities 
for a period of one academic quarter (Fall 2006 or Winter or Spring 
2007). Recipients will also receive up to $1,000 for supplies and 
expenses associated with their research.

The eligibility criteria, conditions of the awards, and application 
procedures are fully described at the web site above.  Please note 
that applications and supporting materials for all awards must be 
received by the dean of your college/school/division by October 27, 
2005  Deans' offices should transmit the applications and supporting 
material to the Office of the Provost by November 17, 2005.  Questions 
concerning the Faculty Development Program should be directed to 
Sarah Gray, Faculty Assistant to the Vice Provost-Academic Personnel 
(530-752-9984 or sdgray@ucdavis.edu).

Sincerely,

Barbara A. Horwitz
Vice Provost-Academic Personnel
