Humanities Released Time Program - Type of Support
For awards of released time through the Humanities Released Time Program, the Campus Research Board will provide to the department/unit a standard rate of $9,000 for one semester of released time. The faculty member’s department may use these funds for either a teaching assistant or wages to hire a qualified instructor to cover the faculty member’s teaching responsibilities during the awarded released time semester.
This opportunity is intended only to meet the need for limited amounts of released time. Normally requests should be for one semester and only in rare incidences will an academic year period be considered. Continuing support is not available under the Humanities Released Time Program.
A minimum of five years must elapse between periods during which Humanities Released Time is taken.
