The Committee on Sabbaticals and Research Grants and the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Dean of Faculty invite you to submit proposals for sabbaticals to be taken during academic year 2009-2010. Proposals should be submitted no later than September 15, 2008. Please send four copies of your proposal along with the Sabbatical Request Form available below and a letter of support from your respective Dean to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Dean of Faculty, Lowell Thomas 128. Any deviation in plans or additional projects or studies not included in your original proposal must be requested in writing and approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Dean of Faculty.

The guidelines used by the Committee in evaluating requests are also listed in Code 6.41. We suggest you read that section to familiarize yourself with them.
