OVERVIEW
The CoLA Office of Research & Scholarship (CORS), through its Research Support Office (RSO), assists faculty members who are seeking (or have received) external fellowships. The most important aspect of applying for external fellowships is providing advance notice to your Chair in order to address your ability to pursue and accept external fellowships and the leaves and/or releases from instructional duties that are typically required alongside them.
...
*If faculty do not notify their department or RSO in advance, the external fellowship may not be able to be accommodated, and the faculty member will be ineligible to apply for CSEF funding, even if the external fellowship is to be paid directly to the faculty member.
Per University HR Policy:
Upon receipt of any external award, applicants are also required to notify COLA HR with the fellowship terms, even if not applying for a CSEF.
...
In all cases, please submit in advance of applying:
Online Form: Intent to Submit Notice
Must include program or fellowship terms of acceptance or a link to program guidelines or terms
RSO requests 1 week or more in advance of submission deadline to review fellowship terms
