Open to: All full-time tenured, tenure-track, and clinical faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor and above
Deadline: February 21, 2014
The Great Cities Institute is inviting proposals for its nineteenth annual Faculty Scholar competition. The deadline for submission is February 21, 2014.
The Great Cities Institute, a campus-wide institute with a campus-wide mission, is housed in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs. Since its inception in 1995, the Institute has appointed 154 Faculty Scholars from over 34 different departments and other units at UIC. The GCI Faculty Scholars Program provides awardees the opportunity to conduct research that contributes to their professional development, enriches their respective academic disciplines and leads to changes in policy and professional practice outside the academy.
For the 2014-2015 Competition the Faculty Scholar proposals will be judged on the extent to which they address UIC’s Urban Mission to connect scholarship and the quality of life in cities and metropolitan regions.
Proposals from individual researchers and research teams will be accepted. Awards will be made for terms of appointment for up to one full academic year beginning in the Fall Semester, 2014. Research teams may choose to share a one-year appointment, but an individual team may not receive more than one-year equivalent.
If you have any questions concerning the Faculty Scholar Competition, please contact us at gcities@uic.edu. We look forward to receiving your proposals.
