Tenured Faculty Professional Development
Full Paid Leave Program

Fall 2010 or Spring 2011

List of Previous Recipients and Their Project Abstracts

Given workload demands and other campus obligations, KSU faculty have limited time to advance their professional development through research, scholarly and creative activity, instructional improvement or retraining. This competitive award program, funded by the President and Provost, is intended to provide funding to assist tenured faculty in devoting an entire semester to foster their professional development. 

The Tenured Faculty Professional Development Full Paid Leave Program provides the faculty member with his/her full salary and fringes for one semester (either fall or spring).  The faculty’s department will receive $20,000 to fund a full-time temporary replacement.  During the leave, the recipient must devote the entire semester to the leave and not teach any courses or participate in other KSU-related activities.

A complete description of the leave program, including application materials and criteria, is available at this link (NOTE: This is a Rich Text Format, rtf, document). The deadline for receipt of proposals for Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 leaves is Tuesday, January 19, 2010.
