C.W. Post Faculty Awarded Research Grants

Nineteen professors from the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University have been awarded grants from the Campus Research Committee for the 2006-2007 academic year. The grants will allow faculty members to conduct scholarly research, author books, create exhibitions and complete many other important projects. The grants support a wide range of academic and professional disciplines, including health care, the environment, film documentaries, photography and K-12 education.

“We want to encourage and support the research endeavors of the faculty in the traditional areas of scholarly research while also supporting the fine arts,” said Dr. Jerrilynn Burrowes, the chair of the Faculty Research Committee. The committee is made up of 12 faculty members who represent all of the colleges and schools within C.W. Post. Grant applications are reviewed once a year.

The funds are awarded through Long Island University’s Office of Academic Affairs and are designed to support faculty research projects. Two sets of grants are available – one for faculty research and one for faculty research that actively involves undergraduate students. This is the second year grants were awarded for undergraduate work.
