The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Faculty Career
Flexibility
Masters Large Institutions Awards Overview
Application Process and Deadlines
The initial selection process is closed
for the 2007–2008 round of awards. Those institutions which
completed the Institutional Survey, and which achieve a score at or
above the median, will advance to Round II of the application
process. Eligible institutions will be notified by June 30th,
2007.
What’s Next for Selected Institutions?
As a benefit to participating
institutions, all applicants will receive a benchmarking
report which compares their responses on the Institutional Survey with
the average ratings of the other university
applicants.
In this next phase, selected
institutions will be required to complete an institution-wide
Accelerator Plan indicating how they would use the $200,000 award to
advance career flexibility on their campus. Accelerator Plans will be
due to ACE by September 15th, 2007.
Institutions that advance to Round II
also will be required to administer a Faculty Survey. The Faculty Survey
is similar to the Institutional Survey in content, but questions faculty
members on their usage of flexible policies. Institutions will have from
September 15th until November 30th, 2007, to administer the Faculty
Survey and achieve a required 40 percent response rate.
ACE will be scheduling conference calls
during summer 2007 to discuss the development of Accelerator Plans, and
the implementation of the Faculty Survey.
Winners of this awards process will be
announced in February 2008 at the ACE Annual Meeting.
Additional Information
What about the two smaller
grants?
After the completion of
the institutional survey, two additional institutions will be
recognized for their unique, innovative, and promising practices in
career flexibility for their tenure-track and tenured faculty. The two
selected institutions will receive $25,000 awards for this recognition,
even if they do not advance to the second round of the application
process.
