Annual Call for Faculty Fellows

The Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE) invites proposals for year-long Faculty Fellowships (Jan.-Dec. 2027) that build upon and enhance CFE’s existing programming, resources, and activities to further support OU faculty as they develop their scholarship through research and creative activities, teaching, community engagement, and service. These fellowships offer the opportunity to work closely with CFE staff and other faculty fellows in a collaborative and supportive environment to develop the ideas and resources you wish you’d had to support you along your journey as a faculty member.  

Deadline to apply is October 19th.
