Common use of Award Process Clause in Contracts

Award Process. Awards will be recommended by the Deans in consultation with Scholarship Committees selected for each college. Step 1. Interested teaching faculty members may consult with their College Deans/Library Director about proposal ideas. The Xxxx/Director will, based on the initial consultation, encourage the faculty member to fully develop the proposal. This step is critical as it intends to help shape a successful proposal from the onset. Step 2. Based on feedback from the Xxxx/Director, the faculty member/Library Faculty submits a formal proposal. The deadline is announced by the Xxxxxxx’x Office at the beginning of each academic year. The proposal should clearly specify an outcome or product of the project and show the relationship of that outcome to criteria for the award of the stipend. Proposals should make clear what support is needed and what time frame will be required to complete the project: a. The proposal should succinctly describe the project in sufficient detail to indicate that it has been well conceptualized; maximum page limit for the body of the proposal is three pages. The page limit is firm. b. The project should have a clearly identified and realistic set of objectives (including a tangible product) which may be reached by the beginning of the next academic year. Projects taking more time must still produce, by the beginning of Fall term, a tangible product that demonstrates appropriate progress toward the project’s objectives. Preparation of a proposal for extra-mural support of a larger undertaking does constitute a “tangible project” and could, conceivably, be the only tangible project where a partial stipend is proposed. c. The proposal should clearly indicate how the project would contribute to the faculty member’s professional development by maintaining or increasing currency in the faculty member’s discipline. Step 3. The Xxxx/Director will select, within each division from which a proposal has been filed, a Scholarship Committee composed of at least 2 members of tenure or tenure track faculty and one fixed term faculty

The report should be presented by the end of the academic term in which the faculty member resumes normal responsibilities.
