Scholarship and innovation is highly valued at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. The office of Academic Affairs and the Center for Professional Development want to assist Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ faculty in their efforts to secure funding for individual or group research, pursue innovative approaches to teaching and learning, and to pursue external funding that benefits Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ faculty, and residents of northern Minnesota. The New Faculty Scholarship and Innovation Fund (NFSIF) <\/strong>has been designed to help new full-time faculty members accelerate individual scholarship, assist in building a sustainable research program, and pursue innovative initiatives that benefit Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students or residents of northern Minnesota. It is our hope that new faculty members will view this program as an excellent opportunity to jump-start their scholarly efforts soon after their arrival on campus.<\/p>\n

Full details of the NFSIF program are outlined below. A crucial aspect to the success of this program is mentoring. Each new faculty member who receives funding from this program should work with his\/her faculty mentor. The mentor will guide the new faculty member in developing his\/her scholarly program and assist in planning and preparing her\/his proposal. Ideally, mentors will be members of the faculty in a related research area with experience and success in obtaining external funding and support.<\/p>\n

Program Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eligibility:<\/strong> To be eligible, individuals must be in their first 3 years as a full-time probationary or fixed term faculty member at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, untenured, and have completed the terminal degree in their field. Requests for exceptions to these requirements should be submitted in writing by the faculty member’s dean or department chair.<\/p>\n
