Characteristics of the Award Program
As many as six university faculty from departments and programs across the university may receive Institute awards to pursue research or creative work for one term. The Institute is willing to provide facilities for Fellows who combine an ICS one-term Fellowship with a one-term Faculty Improvement Leave for a two-term residency.
During the award period, Institute Scholars and Artists will be freed from teaching and departmental committee responsibilities in order to devote their time to projects that enhance their intellectual efforts and enrich the university community and the community at large. While service responsibilities should be curtailed during the award period, it is expected that participation on previously established Master's and Doctoral committees will continue.
Institute Scholars and Artists in Residence remain on regular academic-year salary throughout the award period. Instructional units receive compensation to offset the release time of selected faculty.
Unlike a faculty sabbatical, Institute Scholars and Artists work in residence. They are expected to actively participate in the intellectual community at ICS. During their residency, each faculty fellow will give a presentation designed to share their current work with other members of the university community. Institute fellows also are asked to formally acknowledge the role of ICS in publications and creative projects resulting from their fellowship. ICS Fellows evaluations with specific listings of work accomplished during the Fellowship period are due promptly at the end of the term in residence. Subsequent to their research term, they are required to update ICS yearly for seven years about their accomplishments in research, creative projects, grants, and teaching. A copy of the Annual Faculty Update or excerpts from it could fulfill this requirement.
