Old Gold Summer Fellowships

Guidelines for Old Gold Summer Fellowships are available on the Provost's Faculty Development Programs web site. 

Eligible faculty should submit applications to their DEOs.  DEOs should review and evaluate the proposal, write a letter of endorsement and submit it to the Dean's Office by the deadlines listed below. 

Applications:

• Cover and Abstract Form
  

• Narrative proposal (not more than 5 pages single spaced). This should describe your project in language that can be understood by non-specialists in and outside the College of Education. Your proposal should include:
  • A clear and concise statement of the purpose of your project.
  • The work to be accomplished during your project and your plan for completing this work.
  • The tangible results that you anticipate from the project.
  • How the project will contribute to your professional development and benefit your department, the College, or the University.
  • The way in which the project requires a time commitment beyond that involved in normal teaching, research, scholarship and service activities.
    
• Abbreviated CV

Note that different criteria are used to evaluate applications involving curriculum development (OGSF, Application and Selection, #4). Research and creative projects follow the General Criteria for Evaluating Faculty Activities.

Reports: 

• A one-two page report describing the activities and outcomes of your fellowship is due to your DEO and the Dean by October 15.  Include your name, department, date of award period, proposal title and abstract.
  
• Retain a copy of the report for inclusion in future faculty development award applications.
