Annual Research Leave Sample Clauses

Annual Research Leave. 14.1 The Board recognizes the importance of research within the responsibilities of Academic staff. Staff Members appointed to Academic Co-ordinator positions are not eligible for the provisions of Article 14. 14.2 The Board will provide up to twenty-one (21) days of Annual Research Leave for each Academic member of staff. This may be taken in addition to Professional Development Leave provided that the total number of days taken in a given payroll year for Annual Research and Professional Development Leave does not exceed thirty (30). Annual Research Leave shall be subject to the following conditions. a. Eligible Staff Members will prepare a research proposal three months before the commencement of any research leave, such proposal to be filed with and approved by the supervisor of the Staff Member, who must in the event of denial give reasons in writing. b. Research leave days are normally taken as a block of twenty-one (21) continuous days in order to maximize the effectiveness of time taken for research. No more than two such leaves within the twenty-one (21) day limit may be granted in a given payroll year. c. Within one month of completion of research leave, the Staff Member will file with the supervisor a report detailing progress made during the leave and the project status at the completion of the leave period. d. Academic Staff Members are eligible for research leave unless: i. They are excluded from eligibility by 14.4; ii. They are in their first full year of employment as an Academic Staff Member at Athabasca University. Annual Research Leave eligibility commences after the first full year of employment and is prorated during any partial year of employment. iii. Annual Research Leave shall also be prorated in years during which Research and Study Leave is taken. 14.3 Eligible research activities shall be defined as activities that lead to potential publication of books or of articles in academic journals, to presentation at scholarly meetings, to recognized scholarly contributions via other media than print, or to other recognized contributions to an academic discipline. Research, the purpose of which is solely to keep abreast of developments in a staff member’s academic discipline, will not be considered as eligible for research leave; Athabasca University regards the conduct of this type of research as part of the normal duties of an Academic Staff Member, to be incorporated into an academic’s regular schedule, rather than as research leave....
