All faculty members who have served as full-time assistant, associate, or full professors on the UTA faculty for at least two consecutive academic years are eligible to participate in this program. The period of leave shall be either one-year at one-half regular salary or one semester at full salary.
Faculty Development Leaves may be awarded to support a variety of activities including support for publication, research, teaching, and creative activities. The overriding principle upon which evaluation of proposals will be made is the potential for achievement of a degree of excellence that surpasses the normal responsibilities of a faculty member.
The following deadlines must be met in order to assure that FDL grants will be reviewed in a timely manner.
November 30, 2007: Departmental and School Review
Proposals must be submitted to the appropriate departmental or School research committee for evaluation. Research committees may move this deadline forward to allow them to recommend revisions of proposals to be completed before they are forwarded to the College Research Committee.
December 14, 2007: Colleges Only
Departments must submit proposals to their college committees for evaluation.
February 8, 2008: University Review
Proposals must be received from college/school research committees by the Office of the Provost no later than 5:00 P.M. for evaluation by the University Faculty Development Leave Committee.
