In recognition of the central role that faculty play in fulfilling its academic mission, Eastern Michigan University recognizes the importance of supporting faculty members’ professional growth and facilitating their contributions to the University, their disciplines, and the wider community. Sabbatical Leaves and Faculty Research/Creative Activity Fellowships (FRF) are among the most important faculty support programs because they provide uninterrupted time for faculty to pursue significant and demanding projects. The Provost's New Faculty Award is designed to accelerate the research program of new faculty and make them more competitive for external funding.
Since it is not possible to fund all worthy projects, the University has established a review process to evaluate Sabbatical Leave, FRF, and Provost's New Faculty Award proposals. The University Research and Sabbatical Leave Committee is the University-wide committee in this process. It is a broadly representative screening committee, consisting of faculty members from each college and the library, as specified in the EMU-AAUP Master Agreement. The Committee is charged with reviewing all applications for Sabbatical Leaves, FRFs, and Provost's New Faculty Awards and transmitting their findings to the Provost & Vice President, submitting an annual account of the operation of these programs, and making recommendations concerning any matter relevant to the program.
