The Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence (Butler Center) calls for proposals for a research project grant for assistant professors. This fellowship is made possible through funds from the new Ketan and Tanuja Sheth Family Endowment and the Butler Center.

 

The research project award recognizes a tenured or clinical assistant professor who plans to undertake a project highlighting and/or benefitting women in academe. This year projects focused on intersectionality (intersections of gender and/or race and/or ethnicity, and/or class, and/or nationality, and/or sexuality and/or other differences) will be preferred. Aimed at furthering the mission of the Butler Center, this award supports the work of an individual (or individuals) interested in developing leadership capacity of women, advancing inclusion and representation of women in academic decision-making, or some similar focus.

 

As the title of the award implies, there is a research component required, though data for the research may be through one or more different sources (e.g., survey, interviews, focus group discussions, documents, secondary sources, experiments etc.).

 

The PI must be a tenure-track assistant professor or clinical assistant professor. Additional faculty members, if any, on the proposal may be of any rank. A maximum of $3,000 is available for making one or two awards.

 

Individual and team submissions are accepted. An application packet must include the following:

• Proposals should be described in a maximum of 3 pages (excluding title page and references) single spaced in 12 point font. It must include the following details:
  • Project goals and significance
  • Plan to gather/obtain and analyze data
  • Budget – funding needed to conduct the project (as detailed as possible). The funds cannot be used for salary or salary supplements.
  • Timeline for project
  • Brief explanation of how the project supports the mission of the Butler Center and clear outcomes
• A 2-page CV for the PI and any additional faculty should be included in the proposal (not needed for research assistants)

Application packets are due by 5 pm Thursday, March 28, 2019. The application packet should be submitted as a single PDF at https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4H25AoDO6iEA8kJ. The Butler Center will receive and review applications and recommend candidates for selection to the Purdue Research Foundation (henceforth, the Foundation). The Foundation will review the Butler Center’s recommendations and have sole decision-making authority with respect to each grant award based on available revenue and the Foundation’s assessment of those recommendations. Consistent with the mission of the Butler Center, the Foundation’s selection will give preference to projects that are headed by primary investigators who are women assistant professors.

 

The grant awardee/s will receive funding to conduct and complete their projects in one year. A report on the project and findings will have to be submitted to the Butler Center at the end of the one year project period.
