The CIC, an academic consortium of Big Ten universities and the University
of Chicago, coordinates the Academic Leadership Program, which is
designed to develop the leadership and managerial skills of faculty
who have demonstrated exceptional ability and administrative promise.
The program is specifically oriented to the challenges of academic
administration of major research universities and designed to help
faculty members prepare to meet them. The program consists of three
2 ½ day workshops, held on three different CIC campuses throughout
the year. Academic Deans nominate prospective participants; up to
six Purdue faculty attend the program yearly. |

| Funding Initiatives
|
Bridge Program
Beverly Davenport Sypher
The Bridge Program is designed to further the University's strategic
planning initiatives through the hiring of individuals who will contribute
to the institution's goal of preeminence. This includes the hiring
of individuals who contribute to Purdue’s diversity. Specifically,
the bridge program facilitates the placement of such candidates and
the spouses or partners of newly hired faculty and key staff in faculty
positions by providing partial, temporary funding to the hiring department.
For spouse/partner hires, typically the department making the initial
faculty hire also contributes to the spouse/partner's salary, as does
the department hiring the spouse/partner. Usually each area, including
the Provost Office, contributes one-third of such salary for up to
two years, at which point the spouse/partner's department assumes
the full cost. The program is geared toward spouses and partners of
newly hired faculty and key staff – not established faculty and staff. |
Instructional Equipment
Christine Ladisch and Connie
Lapinskas
This competitive program allows Purdue academic departments and schools
to request support over and above their annual budgetary allocations
for instructional equipment. |
Research Incentive Fund
The Research Incentive Fund (RIF) was established in 1989 for the
purpose of distributing Facilities and Administrative (F&A) recovery
to the schools/colleges where it was earned. The distribution is based
on a formula that calculates the amount of expenditure in the prior
fiscal year that recovered overhead. The distribution is made to the
school/college and each dean has the discretion on how to allocate
the funds within the school/college. |
Strategic
Plan Faculty Positions
A key goal of the Purdue University strategic plan is to recruit and
retain a world-class faculty and staff for establishing and sustaining
preeminent research and scholarship, learning, and engagement programs. |
