The submissions are due by 11:59 pm PT on Friday, April 5, 2024.

Eligibility is limited to academic year appointees in the ranks of Assistant Professor, Acting Assistant Professor, Acting Associate Professor, in the School of Law, Acting Professor, and Assistant Teaching Professor. Individuals known to be in their last year of UC employment and those who have been recommended for promotion to tenure effective July 1, 2024, are ineligible. 

  2. The proposed project should provide an opportunity for educational enrichment through significant research, advanced or independent study, or improvement of teaching effectiveness.
