Since its inauguration in 2015, the Provost’s Initiative for Undergraduate Research has provided support for faculty members from across the University who collaborate with undergraduates on a semester-long research project. The provost’s office is committed to increasing opportunities for student experiential learning, and this initiative represents a key element in achieving that goal.
Faculty members are invited to apply on behalf of themselves and an undergraduate student researcher for stipend support for an intensive undergraduate research experience during the summer. Students are expected to work full-time (35 hours/week) for 6 weeks on the project or the equivalent of 6 weeks over the course of one or both summer sessions. Faculty members are expected to work with and mentor the students in a co-designed research project. Students will be paid $2,500 for their work on the project. Faculty will be compensated $1,500 for mentoring the student in research.
Applications are available at this link and are due February 15, 2020. Email ur@up.edu with questions or call John Orr, assistant provost, at x7286.
The Scholarly Activity Portal is always live and ready for faculty input on PilotsUP under the “Academics” menu. The data obtained via the portal is used to populate A Community of Scholars (published annually by the Provost’s office), the Clark Library’s annual celebration of UP authors, and annual self-evaluations. Faculty members will send a report from their portal to their respective deans as a part of the annual self-evaluation process, and they can also use the data entered to develop their personal curriculum vitae.

Applications for sabbaticals for the 2020-2021 academic year are due along with faculty development plans to faculty members’ respective deans by June 15, 2019. All materials, including the letter from the dean to the provost, are due to the provost’s office by September 1, 2019. Faculty eligible to apply for a sabbatical must have completed seven years of full-time teaching at the University of Portland, or have completed at a minimum an additional seven years of full-time teaching since a previously funded University of Portland sabbatical.
Faculty and staff members who are tasked with updating their departmental and office information in the 2019-2020 University Bulletin need to submit changes to reviewers by Monday, March 11, according to Elise Moentmann, associate provost. Reviewers are typically associate deans. Reviewers then have until Friday, April 1 (three weeks) to go over the changes and decide to submit them for final approval or send them back for revisions.
