The Provost’s Faculty Research Fellowships aid faculty members who are pursuing prestigious and funded fellowship awards to support their research. The fellowship will provide one-semester teaching buyouts and related support to facilitate their completion for the best international and national fellowships and awards. This is particularly important in the humanities, arts and professional disciplines where external research funding is less common.
