The Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools has announced a new fellowship program for faculty in the College of Education and Human Sciences.
Created for associate and full professors or research professors, the CYFS Research Fellowship Program will give faculty who have made measurable progress on a dedicated program of research – yet need additional time and support to expand the depth and breadth of that research – one year of in-house professional leave. Fellows will receive a one-course buy-out for each of two consecutive semesters.
Applications are due Feb. 17, with the inaugural fellowship beginning Aug. 18. The application process requires a letter of support from an applicant's respective department chairperson. CYFS will select one to two research fellows annually.
The program will specifically focus on helping faculty fellows make qualitative shifts in their research through the investment of dedicated time and resources. The fellowship experience will provide planned and defined opportunities to engage in a research-rich interdisciplinary environment with colleagues and potential research partners. It aims to enhance the scope and quality of fellows’ research agendas and portfolios while positioning faculty for successful grant development, submission and procurement.
