The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater offers limited funds to support release time to write grant applications.  Fellows will be required to develop and submit applications for extramural funds during the one year fellowship term.  Funding is limited to a summer stipend or a one course release from teaching (funds to support replacement costs will be provided to the College or Division). 

Funding cannot be used for other expenses (such as supplies, student help, etc.).  While applicants are encouraged to collaborate with non-UWW faculty/staff when appropriate, non-UWW collaborators are not eligible to receive Fellowship funds.

The extramural proposal (or proposals) developed during the project period must request extramural funds of at least $50,000 and result in an award to the institution, not an individual.  Fellows will have one year to submit the extramural grant application.  If the initial submission is not funded, the investigator(s) will work with the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and/or Grant Coach to discuss and/or develop a plan for resubmission.  Successful Fellows may be asked to serve as a panel reviewer in subsequent competitions.

Applicants may submit their proposal either electronically or hard copy to Denise Ehlen, Director of Research and Sponsored Programs (ehlend@uww.edu, x5212), 2243 Andersen Library.
