FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The offices of the vice provost for research
and economic development and vice provost for faculty development and enhancement are
sponsoring a two-day research camp to introduce faculty members who are
starting their research programs to strategies and techniques that will make these
programs successful.
In addition, participants will be introduced to the University of Arkansas research development and research compliance policies, procedures and
resources. All
tenure-track faculty in their first, second or third year are eligible to
apply. The camp will be held off-campus on Oct. 21-22. Transportation, housing
and meals will be provided.
The application form, which can be found here, requires a
department head/chair endorsement. Approximately 30 faculty members will be selected based on
the strength of their applications, their commitment to pursuing funding (by
agreeing to submit a future proposal for external funding) and department
chair/head recommendations.
In addition to providing an opportunity to learn about the
research enterprise at the university, specific programs will be targeted to
federal, state, industry, and foundation funding as well as publishing opportunities.
