Center for Faculty Research and Development (CFRD) Released Time
Released time for full-time, continuing faculty to pursue pedagogical, research (including collaborative student/faculty research), and creative projects; to engage in outreach ("service") activities that engage the faculty member's professional training and talents; and to write grant proposals that will be submitted to external sources for additional funding. We are also seeking proposals that involve released time for more than one person. The role of CFRD funds is to support worthwhile endeavors that might otherwise go unfunded. The CFE sends out a Request for Proposals for released time in the early fall.
