Guidelines for use of 101-4 Funds
PRIORITY USES OF 101-4 FUNDS:
1. Appointment of new, tenure-track faculty or research academic staff, who
have the potential to become funded, and actively seek externally sponsored
research support.
2. Appointment of tenured faculty and established research academic staff
who demonstrate high quality research, or have established a record of
successful extramural grant proposal writing, or would benefit from addition of
research support staff.
3. Approximate breakdown of 101-4 in CHS:
| % 101-4 |
Activity |
| 70% |
New faculty/staff hires leveraged with campus support (eg., Milw. Idea) |
| 30% |
Support and enhancement of the SEED Program, and support of CHS Centers
that foster research activities, instructional-replacement costs and/or summer
support. |
GUIDELINES FOR EXPENDITURE OF FUND 101-4
1. Appointments of faculty and non-teaching academic staff members from Fund
101-4 must correlate with the percentage of time and effort spent on research
activities. A 0.25 FTE appointment equates to 25% of time (1 3-credit group
instruction course release each semester) with efforts dedicated to sponsored
research activities.
2. Appointments of faculty and/or academic staff members from Fund 101-4
must be made in increments of 0.25 FTE. Faculty
members may opt to use the support during the summer instead of reduced
instructional workload during the academic year.
3. Faculty or academic staff activities targeting externally sponsored
instructional projects, eg., training grants, should not be recipients of 101-4
funds. Instruction-related
activities are more appropriately supported by Fund 101-2.
4. Appointments
to 101-4, will be made annually in the spring semester for the upcoming academic
year, with the intent that it will be for a minimum of a two year period, but
renewed annually. The dean will
have final discretion over all appointments, renewals and continuations.
PROCESS
1. All 101-4 funds will be held centrally in the dean's office. Appointments to 101-4 funding will be determined by the dean, and may be
based upon recommendations from department chairs and program directors.
Appointment
of existing faculty/staff members to 101-4 funding will require that department
executive committees, or their delegate, approve the appointment in order for
individuals to receive 101-4 support. Executive
committees must also agree to review individuals for merit based upon a workload
that accurately reflects appointments that may differ from the traditional
weighting of teaching, research and service.
