Reassigned Time Awards
The purpose of these awards is to support faculty scholarship, which is broadly defined as problem solving through conceptual means that can be evaluated and presented to others. Scholarship involves one or more of the four forms: 1) Discovery; 2) Integration; 3) Application; 4) Teaching. Applicants should determine a specified scholarly goal they wish to achieve, considering the impact of said scholarly goal, as well as the potential for future development of scholarly outcome from various external sponsored support resources.
Award duration is limited to one academic semester. Apply in the fall for reassigned time during the following winter. Apply in the winter for reassigned time during the following fall. Awards will correspond to release time of between one and four (1-4) load credits. Generally a faculty member will apply for one award per semester, but applications for two awards per semester will be considered.
DEADLINE: 1/17/2025 (applying for Fall 2025 award); MAX AWARD: 4 credits

SAMPLE PROPOSALS *Note that the guidelines have changed since these proposals were awarded
Any tenured, tenure-earning faculty or continuing-contract-status member may apply for a reassigned time award, with each award not to exceed four (4) load credits, to support scholarly activity. Normally, a faculty member will apply for one (1) award per semester, but a faculty member may apply for up to two (2) awards per semester. An individual may be granted up to three (3) reassigned time awards in a period of five (5) years. If an award recipient fails to submit a final report for a previous reassigned time award, they may not apply for a new reassigned time award until the semester following the submission date of the belated final report.
Applicants must complete their application through the Cayuse platform.

The report guidelines and submission instructions can be found here. In addition, a hard copy of the report must be submitted as part of the faculty member’s subsequent evaluation. If an award recipient fails to submit a final report, the applicant may not apply for a new grant for at least one year from the submission date of the belated final report.
