\u201cBy increasing the number of external grants, APSU will have more money to operate and reward faculty who continue engagement in scholarly activity,\u201d said Dr. Dixie Dennis, associate provost of Grants and Sponsored Programs.
\n\u201cSpecific to the teaching focus at APSU, results from research studies indicate that faculty who engage in research and creative activities are better teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also hoped through the SFRP is that some of these faculty research and creative activity projects will involve undergraduate and graduate students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe benefit of more faculty being engaged in research attracts faculty to APSU who also enjoy being engaged in research,\u201d Dennis said.<\/p>\n
