Application Guidelines for the 2009-2010 Way Klingler Faculty Development funds
Information on the 2009-2010 application guidelines for the two types of grants that are awarded to Marquette faculty as part of the Way Klingler Faculty Development Program is located below. The development program features a series of awards intended to advance research and scholarship and was made possible through an $18 million donation by Helen Way Klingler announced in May, 2004.
Way Klingler Fellowship 
Given to full-time regular faculty at the associate or full professor rank with significant scholarship and higher potential. Faculty will be nominated by academic deans or self-nominated with dean endorsement.
Based upon a recommendation from the selection committee, Way Klingler Fellowships will be awarded in two categories, labeled “science” or “humanities”. Science applicants are those with a track record of strong research funding whose research requires higher expense items, such as, equipment, supplies, and research staff. Typically, those from the natural sciences, engineering and biomedical science would address this category. Humanities applicants are those with a national recognition for scholarship whose critical research requirements may be time, access to information and travel. Typically, those from the humanities, communications, business administration, and education would address this category. It would be appropriate for many disciplines, for example, social sciences and nursing, to address either category depending on the research. The selection of category is not one set by discipline; but rather, determined by the applicant. Two Way Klingler Fellowships will be awarded in 2008, one in each applicant designated area of science or humanities. The science fellow will receive $50,000 annually for three years and the humanities fellow will receive $20,000 annually for three years. The fellows will be chosen by the selection committee. Application deadline for submission by the deans is January 16, 2009.
Way Klingler Young Scholar Awards One-semester sabbatical award for junior faculty in the three years after their third-year review. Up to four awards of up to $32,000 each will be awarded for half of a faculty member’s salary including $2,000 in operating funds. Individuals will be selected by the Committee on Research. Application deadline is January 12, 2009.
