Apply for the 2024 Kriz Faculty Study Leave Endowment

Two men recording data on a small mountain farm.

As part of their research into methyl bromide alternatives, NC State personnel collect data from an on-farm research trial in Western North Carolina.

All CALS faculty are encouraged to take study leave. In an effort to encourage CALS faculty to take scholarly leave, George J. and Rhoda W. Kriz established an endowment for off-campus scholarly assignments, such as sabbaticals. Through the George J. and Rhoda W. Kriz Faculty Study Leave Endowment, one award of $10,000 will be given to support a study leave in 2024.

Eligibility
The award is open to any CALS faculty member with approved study leave at an out-of-state location.

Nomination and Selection
Submit applications to Peter Vantine (pvantin@ncsu.edu) on or before Nov. 17, 2023. Award selection will be announced in December.

Application Materials:
1. An application in the form of a cover letter that describes where and with whom the study leave will be and how the leave will enhance the applicant’s program as well as how the leave will be of benefit to the College.
2. NC State Scholarly Assignment Form
3. Curriculum Vitae (two pages maximum). The CV should include: (a) up to 10 publications — five most significant and five from the last five years, (b) current grant support, and (c) a list of previous sabbatical leaves (date, length and location for each leave).
