Description
Join the University Sabbatical Review Committee for a two-hour
workshop on preparing a successful sabbatical application! The first
hour of this workshop will include information about the sabbatical
review process as well as tips for writing a successful proposal, with
Q&A. During the second hour, participants will be able to get
direct feedback from committee members that will move their sabbatical
proposal writing forward.
This interactive presentation will
explore how to prepare a successful sabbatical application, including
pre-planning, writing to address the University criteria, developing
effective objectives, and creating a realistic work plan. Most
importantly, participants will learn what makes a proposal strong or
weak in the eyes of the reviewers.
Who Should Attend:
- Faculty who will be submitting an application on September 1
- Unit-heads in departments that will have faculty applying
- Faculty members who are two or three years away from their sabbatical and plan on seeking a fellowship (Fulbright, Wilson, ACLS, DAAD, Peace Corps Response) or sponsorship as a Visiting Scholar at a National/International Lab or embedded position within an industry
Participants Will Be Able To:
- Hear directly from colleagues who review sabbatical applications.
- Pitch your sabbatical ideas to committee members to get immediate feedback
- Request pre-reads and feedback from committee members prior to the September 1st deadline. Note: the deadline for pre-read requests is August 1, 2021.
- Understand the potential compliance concerns (IRB, Animal, Export Controls, Intellectual Property) associated with many sabbatical applications.
