Internal research funding supports faculty research, creative, and scholarly endeavors; promotes the University’s research profile and prestige in the community; and is a valuable means of leveraging external support.
EMU’s current internal award lineup consists of the Faculty Research Fellowship, Sabbatical Leave, and Provost’s New Faculty awards:
The Release FRF is intended to encourage and support the research, creative, artistic, and scholarly endeavors of full-time tenured or tenure-track EMU faculty by providing spring-summer salary, and/or released-time awards for outstanding proposals. Cash of up to $3,000 can be requested as part of an award to cover supplies, services and materials (SS&M) and travel expenses related to the release.
The Cash Only FRF is awarded in support of small SS&M needs and is intended to encourage and support the research, creative, artistic, and scholarly endeavors of EMU faculty. The range of the award is $300 - $3,000 to support outstanding projects. Travel support is limited to $500.
Sabbatical leaves are granted for special study, research, and/or other projects that will enhance the usefulness of the person to the institution, perform service on the local, state, national, or international level, and/or bring prestige to the University.
The Provost’s New Faculty Award is sponsored by the Office of the Provost. This program provides funding of up to $5,000 to accelerate the research program of new faculty and to make them more competitive for external funding.
Internal research is overseen by the Associate Provost and Associate Vice President for Research, Dr. Robert Neely. Please, feel free contact his office in 106 Welch Hall (734-487-3200) with any questions or concerns.
