Develop your knowledge base and grant-writing skills through our intensive SPA Fellows Program.
Our program selects faculty members who display superior potential regarding the ability to obtain external funding in support of research, scholarship, creative projects, and other fundable endeavors.
The course is held annually and consists of monthly class meetings throughout the academic year.
Participation is determined via a nomination process, with candidates brought forward by the Provost, Vice Provost, and the academic deans and department chairs, as well as SPA staff. Interested faculty members are also invited to self-nominate.
Interested?
For additional information, contact Jackie Davis, Director of Pre Award, Strategy, and Outreach for Sponsored Projects Administration.
