Eighteen Campbell University professors have been selected to receive Summer Research Grants, according to Dr. Thomas Dixon, chair of the Faculty Research Committee.
Each year, Campbell awards multiple grants to assist and encourage the research, writing and publication efforts of faculty. The program is conducted “in a collegial spirit appropriate to higher education and the Christian context of Campbell University” and follows these guidelines:
- Grants are made in the form of a $2,500 salary stipend.
- Projects are preferred but not required to reach completion during the summer term of a grant. If a project is part of a longer-term endeavor, this should be clearly indicated during application.
- It is acknowledged that the summer project will likely not be the only professional activity a faculty member is engaged with at the time. However, acceptance of the grant is taken to mean that significant effort and scholarly attention will be devoted to the project.
- Other research grants may be held during the term of the Summer Research Grant but may not interfere with the purposes of the Summer Research Grant.
