Research/Scholarship Support
Writing SupportBootcampGrant Writing Bootcamp, launched in 2013, is designed to help grant-interested faculty produce a quality, successful proposal, with valuable information and support from grant-successful facilitators.
Faculty Writing GroupsThe Center for Faculty Excellence created writing groups using a research based model beginning Spring 2013. Participating in a writing group means committing to writing at least 15 to 30 minutes a day, keeping a log of your writing, and meeting weekly or monthly with the group to share your results. The group will be expected to provide substantive input – this is not an editing group. Email cfe@montana.edu if you are interested in joining. Keep an eye out for the information sessions this semester by watching the Upcoming Workshops section. Sabbatical SupportThe Center offers support for faculty considering applying for a sabbatical. Learn more about the process on the Provost website. If you would like to talk through your ideas or get feedback on your proposal, email cfe@montana.edu. |
Funding for Your ScholarshipThe goal of FEGs is to enable faculty to engage in activities that will enhance scholarship. Faculty in all disciplines are eligible to submit proposals.
