Transition Faculty Awards

A Transition Faculty Research Award is available to sponsor research and scholarship activities that will enhance the professional growth of non-tenure-track (transition) women faculty leading to their promotion. Awards supporting research in the area of a faculty member's specialization as well as scholarly work on issues of gender equity in the academy will be considered. At this level, an award of up to $7,500 will be made and require a match of 50% from the department and/or school. Award recipients are expected to use the funding to conduct research, to submit research findings for publication, and participate in other ADVANCE activities.
