7. Fellowship and Scholar Incentive Awards
For more than ten years, "sabbaticals" within CUNY have
been called "Fellowship Leaves."
The Faculty Handbook reference at
provides all of the information about how to proceed.
Applications should be submitted to the department chairperson no later than November 1 preceding the Fall semester for which the request for a fellowship leave is being made or March 1 preceding the Spring semester for which the request for a fellowship leave is being made.   Following the endorsements of the appropriate departmental and college-wide committees and the recommendation of the college president, a copy of the application should be forwarded to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Faculty and Staff Relations for approval.

8. FROM: Provost James McCarthy
RE: Scholar Incentive Awards – Academic Year
The Scholar Incentive Awards Program provides a valuable opportunity for faculty to pursue research
and creative work. The Scholar Incentive Awards application and guidelines can be accessed at the
Faculty Handbook on Baruch’s Website.
The CUNY Office of Academic Affairs must review applications for Scholar Incentive Awards before
being transmitted to the Board of Trustees for final approval. Applications for leave for Fall 2008, are
due at the CUNY Office of Academic Affairs by April 1, 2008; applications for Spring 2009 are due by
October 1, All Personnel & Budget Committee approvals must be obtained before an
application is sent to the CUNY Office of Academic Affairs.
The first College Personnel & Budget Committee review of applications for Scholar Incentive Awards
will be on December 4, School Personnel & Budget Committee actions will have to take place
prior to that date for consideration at that meeting. Applications may be considered at later P&B
meetings, but applications for Fall 2008 must reach Central Office by April 1, 2008 and for Spring 2009
by October 1, 2008.
Please be sure that all eligible faculty in your department know about this opportunity for incentive
awards. It is important that all interested applicants understand the supporting evidence, which must
be submitted. I especially call to your attention to the application guidelines, which state the
requirements for the description of the proposed research and either substantiation of non-CUNY
funding or letters supporting the project.
If a faculty member is considering applying for an Award contingent upon the approval of outside
funding, but does not expect to be notified in time to meet the above deadline, the faculty member may
wish to submit an application prospectively that can be withdrawn if funding does not materialize.
