UIS Scholarly Impact Award Guidelines
Purpose
To recognize leadership, accomplishments, and excellence in scholarship activities of tenured faculty. Although the scholarship may fit traditional notions of the scholarship of discovery, applicants who exemplify scholarship of application or integration are encouraged to apply.
One award of a non-instructional assignment (NIA) is given each year, to be used the following fall or spring semester. Recipients should coordinate with their department chair/head to schedule the NIA.
