CIWR @ Daytona State College
As our host institution, the Center for Interdisciplinary Writing and Research maintains a special relationship with Daytona State College (DSC). Although we actively seek collaboration across institutions, especially among institutions with a desire to increase a culture of scholarship and those located in the Central Florida region, we are able to provide special opportunities to the faculty and staff at DSC given this special relationship.
Lempel Faculty Research and Writing Program Grant
Each summer, one to two faculty members at DSC are selected as recipients of the Lempel Faculty Research and Writing Program Grant. This grant, up to $10,000 per recipient, replaces a full-time faculty member’s teaching load for the summer and provides a modest supplement to fund scholarly work. Generally, faculty members for this grant will complete the scholarly work during the summer or make significant preparations for completion in the fall. Faculty members will share their work with the academic community or community at large in some form upon completion of the project. Applications for the grant should be submitted by October 31, 2023 for the current cycle. More information about the grant, including the rubric with which proposals will be evaluated can be found in the CIWR Infoguide on the Daytona State College website as well as below.
Applications will be reviewed by the Lempel Program Grant Committee, the applicant’s department chair, and senior executive staff as part of the submission process.
The grant application deadline is October 31, 2023. Grant awards will be decided by November 30th and announced shortly thereafter.
