Description
The Miller Faculty Development Fund was made possible by the generosity of F. Wendell Miller, who left his entire estate jointly to Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. Mr. Miller, who died in 1995 at age 97, was born in Altoona, Illinois, grew up in Rockwell City, Iowa, graduated from Grinnell College and Harvard Law School, and practiced law in Des Moines and Chicago before returning to Rockwell City to manage his family's farm holdings and to practice law. His bequest helped to establish the F. Wendell Miller Trust, the annual earnings of which, in part, help support faculty development proposals that advance the university's strategic plan. The program is administered by the President’s Office and the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching.
For 2012-2013, the Miller Fellowships will provide faculty with opportunities to enhance their scholarly work in the undergraduate academic programs of the university and to develop innovative approaches to enhance student learning. Faculty will have up to twelve months to meet the goals of their Fellowship project.
Eligibility
Any faculty member at Iowa State University (tenured, tenure-eligible, adjunct, lecturer or clinician) may apply for a fellowship. Faculty may submit proposals as individuals or may join with others to submit a proposal as a faculty team. To increase faculty involvement, preference may be given to first time Miller Fellowship applicants. Faculty who are CELT staff or members of the CELT Advisory Board may participate as members of Miller Fellowship teams, but may not be the lead proposer.
Application Procedure
Prepare the proposal, consisting of title page, proposal form (download -- or pick up a copy from the CELT office in 3024 Morrill Hall), budget worksheet, and department chair endorsement letter. Also include a signed statement from the college fiscal officer if your proposal includes any faculty salary and benefits as a part of proposed matching funds. Submit one electronic copy of the proposal (as a single pdf file) to your College Dean and to Jan Thompson, CELT Faculty Intern, at jrrt@iastate.edu by Wednesday, February 1, 2012. If more than one proposal is submitted from a college, the Dean will submit an email listing the proposals in priority order to Jan Thompson by Friday, February 10, 2012.
