Purpose
Research leave in this context refers to a one-semester or one-year leave to support a faculty member's research, engaged scholarship, and/or creative activity.
Leaves consist of either one semester at full pay with benefits or a full academic year at one-half pay with benefits.
...
Applications must be submitted to the Dean by October 15 for any kind of research leave—fallleave—fall, spring, or full year—intended to take place in the following academic year.
Setting the School deadline earlier than the University deadline for a spring semester leave allows School and program leadership to plan with more precision for the full academic year.
Applications should include:
A completed University Leave application provided by the Provost’s officeUniversity Office of Academic Affairs.
A description of the research leave that clearly states its objectives and outcomes and provides a rationale for why a research leave is needed to achieve them.
A current copy of the faculty member’s CVyour CV.
Submit your application via email to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, cc'ing the Dean's Executive Assistant.
Evaluation Criteria
Applications will be evaluated on the quality of the faculty member’s argument for the leave to promote research, engaged scholarship, and/or creative activity that would not be possible while pursuing a full slate of regular duties.
Requests will also be prioritized on these bases:
Whether the faculty member is pre-tenure.
Whether the faculty member has had a research leave previously and if so, how long ago.
Whether the leave will be fully or partially supported by external funds.
Whether the faculty member is planning for promotion in the near future.
