One of the needs on UW-Superior's campus is providing infrastructure and summer stipend support for scholarly activities. To assist in this effort, CETL is offering two Jumpstart Programs for the Spring/Summer 2013.  Both programs have the following key dates:

• April 26 - Noon deadline for submission of electronic application/proposal to Maria Cuzzo at mcuzzo@uwsuper.edu 
  
  
• May 5 - Notification of application acceptance and approval, or not.
  
  
• August 15 - Submission of documentation of project completion to Maria Cuzzo.
  

Please view the details of the program applicable to your job position at the following downloadable pdfs:

	The 2nd Annual Jumpstart Scholarship Stipend Program for Faculty and Academic Instructional Teaching Staff
	A Pilot Jumpstart Scholarship Stipend Program for Non-Instructional Academic Staff

These programs will provide funding for intensive development of some aspect of a scholarly project in Summer 2013. It is based on production of scholarship "pieces of work" that are clear and will move ahead design and/or production of scholarly projects.  For instructors, it can be either a SoTL (scholarship of teaching/ learning) or a discipline based research project that will be integrated into classroom or out-of-classroom teaching. For non-instructional academic staff, the project will include intensive development of a program to foster effective student learning.

Acceptance of the stipend assumes that this is a new project and not a re-tread of previous work already completed. Stipends will be paid with 75% paid in the June paycheck.  With proof of completion of the proposed project, the remaining 25% will be paid in August/September 2013.  All project work must be completed and submitted to CETL by August 15, 2013.

A summary of all projects received may be presented to the Provost as part of examples of CETL supported work.  A list of recipients with their completed projects will be publicized by CETL and you may be invited to present your scholarly project in a Fall 2013 CETL Reception highlighting research.

If you have questions, contact Dr. Maria Cuzzo, CETL Director, at mcuzzo@uwsuper.edu (or Swenson Hall 2072, 715-394-8488).
