Faculty Enhancement Opportunity Award Applications

Joseph Glover, Provost and Senior Vice President

I am pleased to announce the fourth call for Faculty Enhancement Opportunity (FEO) Award applications. Applications will be due this Spring for awards in Summer and Fall, 2010 This pilot project is a part of President Machen’s efforts to support and enhance professional development opportunities for the faculty.

The UFF has agreed to include in-unit faculty in the FEO program. Final decisions on awards will depend on approval of the contract.

Details of the FEO program and the application form are available at http://www.aa.ufl.edu/search_committees/FEO/index.html

Applications must be reviewed at the unit level. Those endorsed at the unit level will be forwarded to the University-level committee that will review the applications and recommend awards to the Provost.

Applications for this round of FEOs will be due in electronic form to Associate Provost Kathleen Long at longka@ufl.edu by March 1, 2010. The final signature page can be faxed to the Academic Affairs Office c/o Ellen Sattler at 392-8735. Awards will be made this Spring for FEOs effective Summer/Fall 2010. Questions about the program or the application should be directed to Dr. Long at the email address above.

There will be another call for FEO applications in Fall 2010 to support future FEOs.

I look forward to the opportunities this project provides to support our faculty members and the University.
