Grant Fellows Program
The College of Education Grant Fellows Program provides faculty with an opportunity to demonstrate leadership in grant writing and support the development of major collaborative projects. Faculty Fellows are bought out of teaching responsibilities for one or two terms and/or receive summer support so they can focus solely on grant writing and research. Applications are reviewed by the Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies on a rolling basis throughout the year. For more information, contact Dr. C.C. Bates.
