Proposal Deadline: Monday, November 16, 2009
Award Announcement: Approximately Monday, December 7, 2009
The Faculty Release Time program provides limited funding for individuals developing external grant proposals or who wish to further their scholarly activities.
Tenure-track faculty. Preference will be given to new or junior faculty, (hired in the last three years) and to applicants who describe incisive, innovative research with a strong likelihood of funding. Senior faculty are eligible, particularly if the proposal being developed represents a change in direction for the faculty member's research or scholarship. Pre-approval must be obtained by both the department chair or head, and the college Dean prior to submittal. Full consideration for advance replacement and term scheduling should be evaluated, so as to avoid conflicts in class planning and preparation.
Award amounts range between $3,500 and $6,000.
Applicants will be notified via email of award decisions by the announcement date listed at the top of this page. For a detailed list of prior awards see OSU Incentive Programs: Funded Proposals.
The Research Office will provide funds to support the cost of a replacement instructor to cover one course, or similar responsibilities, normally presented by the applicant. Funds provided are based on the actual cost of the replacement's salary, not on the applicant's salary.
The FRT application form is available in MS Word format. If you are unable to access this form, contact the Research Office at 541-737-8390 to request a paper copy. Please allow one week for delivery.

The Vice President for Research Office reviews all materials and prepares summary data. Final funding and award decisions reside with the Vice President for Research.
Proposals are reviewed based on quality; especially noting those that present clear concepts and specific research methods. Considerations include realistic targeting of funding sources, why those sources should be pursued, and what the scholarly impact of the proposal would be.
