UC DAVIS: Academic Personnel September 29, 2006 DEANS, DIRECTORS, AND DEPARTMENT CHAIRS MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE RE: Faculty Development Program Awards I am pleased to announce that the Faculty Development Program will provide awards for the 2007-2008 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 2007 or Winter or Spring 2008). 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, 2006. Deans' offices should transmit the applications and supporting material to the Office of the Provost by November 17, 2006. 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 06-100
