November 8, 2018
MACOMB, IL -- The Western Illinois University Foundation and the Office of Sponsored Projects have awarded nine stipends to WIU faculty for Summer 2019.
The grants, which amount to nearly $30,000, provide opportunities for faculty to engage in projects leading to the professional advancement of the proposal writer and the enhancement of Western Illinois University in the areas of teaching, research and creative activity. According to Shannon Sutton, director of the Office of Sponsored Projects, proposals are encouraged in research leading to publication, development of a significant curriculum proposal, creation of work leading to a performance or exhibition, mastery of a new instructional technique, and research required in preparing an application to an external granting agency.
"The WIU Foundation is proud to support our University faculty's scholarly activity," said Brad Bainter, vice president for advancement and public services and executive director of the WIU Foundation. "Since 1989, the Foundation has provided Summer Stipend Awards so faculty have the opportunity to engage in projects beyond those traditionally pursued during the academic year."
