St. Cloud State University’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs has announced funding for seven 2019-20 Early Career Grant projects for a total of $47,000 invested in the scholarly work of eight faculty members in the first five years of their St. Cloud State University careers.
The Early Career Grant ranges from $4,000 to $8,000 that support the scholarly pursuits of faculty in the first five years of their probationary appointment at St. Cloud State. A mid-career grant competition similarly supports scholarly pursuits of post-tenure faculty who are seeking a new research or creative activity or are engaging in scholarship of teaching and learning.
These grants support faculty development and are strategically-aligned to promote the teacher-scholar model that President Robbyn Wacker sees as the future of St. Cloud State. The work will be done in 2020-21.
