Summer Research Support for Junior Faculty
The
Trustees' Council of Penn Women offers three $5,000 summer
research stipends to female faculty, or faculty members whose
research is centrally concerned with the role of women in society,
science, or arts and letters.* These awards are given to assist
in the promotion of standing faculty to the permanent rank
of Associate Professor. Those who have previously applied and
did not receive an award are encouraged to apply again. (Faculty
who have already won an award are eligible to apply again.)
If
you are interested in applying for the stipend, please submit
a 2-page summary of the research you wish to undertake, an
explanation
of how the stipend will facilitate the research, a curriculum vitae, and the
name of a University reference. In your application please describe how you
will use the award and why it would be particularly useful
to you at this time. The
summary should be sent to: Summer Research Award, The Alice Paul Research
Center, 411 Logan Hall, 249 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6304
no later than Friday, March 5, 2004.
Research
proposals will be reviewed, and the stipend awarded, through
a peer review process. It is expected that the research, or
a significant subset thereof, will be concluded during the
summer of 2004, and a written report will be submitted to the
review panel and to the Trustees' Council. Any subsequent publication
of the research results should acknowledge the support of the
Council.
* Note: The
amount of the award varies according to whether the recipient
chooses to receive it as salary or to use it for research
expenses.
