SUNY Potsdam taking applications for 2017 fellowship

Posted

POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam is taking applications for the 2017 T. Urling and Mabel Walker Research Fellowship Program.

The program is to encourage faculty from 11 area colleges to undertake research on critical issues confronting North Country communities, and to make recommendations for possible solutions, SUNY Potsdam said.

The 11 institutions include Adirondack Community College, Clarkson University, Clinton Community College, Jefferson Community College, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, North Country Community College, Paul Smith's College, St. Lawrence University, SUNY Canton, SUNY Plattsburgh and SUNY Potsdam. Full- or part-time teaching and non-teaching faculty from the 11 colleges are eligible to apply.

Proposals that include a strong statement of support from a local individual or organization that clearly explains how the community will benefit from the project results will be given preference.

Two research projects of up to $5,000 will be awarded this year. The steering committee will determine the amount of the award for each project.

In the past, funds have been used to pay a student assistant, support travel costs and purchase software and supplies. Only in limited cases have funds been used as a stipend for the researcher.

Proposals are due by Jan. 13, 2017.
