In August 2018, President Eighmy launched a Presidential Initiative on Research Excellence. Among the slate of targets for this initiative is faculty awards.
As such, the Office of the Vice President for Research, Economic Development and Knowledge Enterprise (VPREDKE) is offering an incentive for faculty who are recipients of these awards and recognitions, which include programs such as NSF CAREER, Fulbright US Scholar, NEH Fellows, and more.
Further information about the incentive program can be found in a memo released September 1, 2018 as well as on the Targeted Scholarly Awards web page.
