Enhanced research appointment pilot project underway for tenured and tenure-track faculty

The Purdue offices of Research, Provost, and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer recently announced a new pilot initiative to recognize the exceptional research focused efforts, duties and activities of our tenured and tenure-track faculty that advance the Purdue research enterprise.

Those who qualify may be eligible for a new concurrent faculty appointment allowing for up to 0.75 FTE to be established at a salary up to 25% higher than their current institutional base salary. 

Under the pilot program, eligible tenured and tenure-track faculty may apply for this new concurrent appointment if they are dedicating 0.25 FTE or greater to externally funded grants and contracts and have qualified external funding sources in place with the resources sufficient to cover both the dedicated effort and enhanced salary. 

Eligible faculty members can submit applications each fiscal or academic year (depending on appointment type). Applications for the pilot year must be submitted by May 31, 2023. The details and the application process can be found here.
