Application Guidelines for the 2010-2011 Way Klingler Faculty Development funds
Information on the 2010-2011 application guidelines for the three 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 2010, 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 19, 2010 (Check with your dean’s office to confirm the college application deadline).
Way Klingler Young Scholar Awards Supports promising young scholars in critical stages of their careers. Up to four awards will be given for 2010-11 to full-time regular junior faculty in the three years following their third year review. The awards of up to $32,000 are intended to fund $2,000 in operating cost and to cover up to 50% of salary to afford the recipient a one semester sabbatical. Individuals will be selected by the Committee on Research. Application deadline is January 11, 2010 (Check with your dean’s office to confirm the college application deadline).
Way Klingler Teaching Enhancement Award: Fosters the development of effective and sustainable changes and innovations in teaching approaches within specific courses or clusters of courses. This annual award is given to a team of two or more faculty to develop, implement and evaluate a specific teaching project. One award of up to $20,000 will be given to the selected project team for one fiscal year. The award is competitive and will be selected by the Committee on Teaching. Each year the Provost and Committee on Teaching may identify a particular area of higher priority for projects that meet strategic academic goals to enhance teaching and learning at Marquette. Application deadline is extended to October 19, 2009 (Check with your dean’s office to confirm the college application deadline).
