Faculty Research Fellows Program

The College of Education Research Fellows Program's primary goal is to enhance faculty capacity for garnering external funding to support high-impact research. Research Fellows participate in a year-long grant academy led by Hanover Research, a grants consulting agency. They will be part of a Fellows working group that meets throughout the academic year to provide research mentoring and peer support.  Faculty are selected through an application process. Call for applications occurs in late spring.
