Each Fellow will have the option of using the money in the following ways: (1) Buy-out of up to two courses per year ($6,000/course) to be decided in consultation with Department Heads or Chairs; (2)
Graduate research assistance (obtain exact dollar amounts from the Business Office); (3)
Travel support: Maximum of $1000 for conference travel. Funds for research travel--amount to be justified; (4)
Summer salary up to current College of Education cap ($6,000), plus the appropriate fringe benefits; and (5) Equipment and supplies directly related to proposed research.

The generous support of an endowment from Charles Dunn Hardie has allowed the College of Education to make a new Strategic Initiatives Faculty Fellows awards available to faculty members in support of their research, which seeks to enhance the College’s ability to address the four "breakthrough" initiatives identified in the 2007 – 2010 Strategic Plan:
Center for Education in Small Urban Communities
Initiative on STEM Teaching and Learning
Ubiquitous Learning Institute: New Education Ecologies
Forum on the Future of Public Education
The strategic plan states “These initiatives represent areas in which we believe we could significantly enhance our research, teaching and service activities, achieve preeminence, and attract considerable external resources.” This Fellows program is designed to support the College’s effort in these areas by increasing faculty involvement and enhancing research and public service opportunities related to the initiatives.
Like the existing Faculty Fellows program, the Strategic Initiatives Fellows Program has been configured to offer faculty flexibility in how the funding is used. Total support for each Fellow will be a maximum of up to $30,000 per year, with up to three awards being made annually.
