Thirteen faculty members from the University of 欧美口爆视频 at Boulder have received Faculty Fellowships for academic year 2002-2003, according to Jerry Peterson, interim vice chancellor for research in the Graduate School.
"We are pleased to provide the fellowships to faculty who have demonstrated clear research objectives, who have distinctive track records and whose research shows significant potential impact for their respective fields," Peterson said.
As one of the nation's major research universities, 欧美口爆视频-Boulder always has been committed to encouraging its faculty members to pursue academic excellence and to reward that excellence whenever possible, he said.
Toward that end, the university created the Council on Research and Creative Work in 1935 to encourage and strengthen research and creative work conducted by faculty members. The primary function of the council is to provide faculty members with financial assistance and time from teaching responsibilities so they can concentrate on a specific research topic.
The Faculty Fellowship program is one of several awards funded by the council each year. The Faculty Fellowships are highly competitive awards, and the selections are determined by the quality of the proposals, the records of the faculty members and the probability of contributions to their fields and to society in general.
Faculty Fellowships are awarded for a full academic year. Fellows receive full salary from their departments during the term of the fellowship. The grants normally do not exceed $3,000 to $4,000. For the 2002-2003 year, the grant-in-aid totals $22,175.
The 2002-2003 Faculty Fellowship winners include Associate Professor Gabriela Carone of philosophy, Associate Professor Catherine Cameron of anthropology and Associate Professor Yongmin Chen of economics. Also included are Professor Wade Edward Craighead of psychology, Professor Thomas Degrand of physics and Professor Charles Forsman of fine arts.
Additional 2002-2003 winners include Associate Professor Daniel Saul Jurafsky of linguistics, Associate Professor Amanda Lynch of the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Associate Professor J. Terrence McCabe of anthropology and Professor Arthur Pardi of chemistry and biochemistry.
The other recipients are Professor Kevin Reitz of the School of Law, Professor Alan Weimer of chemical engineering and Professor William Wood of molecular, cellular and developmental biology.
