FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The offices of the vice provost for research and economic development and vice provost for faculty development and enhancement are sponsoring a two-day research camp to introduce faculty members who are starting their research programs to strategies and techniques that will make these programs successful.

In addition, participants will be introduced to the University of Arkansas research development and research compliance policies, procedures and resources. All tenure-track faculty in their first, second or third year are eligible to apply. The camp will be held off-campus on Oct. 21-22. Transportation, housing and meals will be provided.

The application form, which can be found here, requires a department head/chair endorsement. Approximately 30 faculty members will be selected based on the strength of their applications, their commitment to pursuing funding (by agreeing to submit a future proposal for external funding) and department chair/head recommendations.

In addition to providing an opportunity to learn about the research enterprise at the university, specific programs will be targeted to federal, state, industry, and foundation funding as well as publishing opportunities.
