[Teaching-Faculty] 2020 T. Urling and Mabel Walker Research Fellowships

[Office of the Provost/VPAA]

Dear Faculty,



Applications are coming due for the 2020 T. Urling and Mabel Walker
Research Fellowships.  The purpose of this program is to encourage faculty
from the region’s 11 institutions of higher education to undertake research
on critical issues confronting North Country communities, and to make
recommendations for possible solutions. The program is designed to promote
greater community-academic cooperation. Proposals that include a strong
statement of support from a local individual or organization that clearly
explains how the community will benefit from the project results will be
given preference.



A maximum of two research projects of up to $5,000 can be awarded each
year. The Walker Fellowship Steering Committee will determine the amount of
the award for each approved project.  In the past, funds have been used to
pay a student assistant, support travel costs and purchase software and
supplies. Only in limited cases have funds been used as a stipend for the
researcher.



Proposals are due by January 29, 2021, close of business. For further
information and an application, please call the Provost’s Office at (315)
267-2891 or visit

Take Care,
