16 faculty members receive fellowships
Thursday, March 6th, 2008Sixteen faculty members have been awarded $10,000 Faculty Research Grant summer fellowships from the Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs.
“Our goal is to provide seed money to get projects off the ground,” said Laura Gelfand, associate professor of art history, who chairs the committee that reviewed the proposals. “For projects in the sciences, we try to assess the feasibility of the project and the likelihood that the project will be able to attract further funding as it is developed.”
The committee also awards projects in the humanities, social sciences, nursing and the arts.
Gelfand, who has served on the review committee for a number of years, said the task of reading the proposals is time consuming, but rewarding.
