Applications sought for Research Refresh program

The Office of the Provost is accepting applications to Research Refresh (R2), a competitive, campuswide program sponsored by the Office of the Provost.

R2 is designed to provide protected time for tenured associate professors and full professors who would benefit from intense focus to advance their scholarship and reinvigorate their careers. The program also will consider applications from faculty members who are changing the focus of their scholarship. 

Proposals may include up to one month of faculty summer salary if the project extends through the summer, and up to $10,000 in discretionary funding to support project needs including travel to meet with program directors or to visit colleagues at other institutions to learn new research methods or gain exposure to the selected area of scholarship. In addition, up to $30,000 over two semesters for the actual costs of replacement teaching will be provided to the department.

Details about the application are available online. Applications are due Feb. 14 and should be submitted to officeoftheprovost@purdue.edu.
