Faculty Research & Writing Group Application

Deadline for submission: May 10, 2019. 

Next submission cycle is anticipated for Spring 2020. Repeat funding is contingent upon receipt of a report for the current cycle.

Applications of no more than 500 words in sum may be submitted via this page and should include:

• an outline of the proposed area of intellectual interest to be explored by group members;
• a list of the group’s members;
• a description of how often the group might meet
• the envisioned content of the meetings

Reporting: At the end of the year, the group will submit a short (e.g. one page or less) report, including a list of the research or creative pieces produced by each member.  A description of funded groups will also appear on our website to showcase faculty research in the department.

Eligibility: All tenure-line faculty, professional track faculty, professors of the practice, and members of the core Comparative Literature faculty are eligible to become funded participants in a Faculty Research and Writing Group.  Graduate students who are also lecturers are excluded.  Participation from outside the department is invited, but (with the exception of core CMLT faculty) the outside faculty members’ departments must provide any funding they might receive.

Faculty members are eligible for only one annual FRWG $250 award.
