\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Fifteen faculty members at Austin Peay State University have been chosen as awardees in the Summer Research Fellowship Program (SRFP), an initiative to encourage the development of research\/creative activity projects at the University.<\/p>\n

The SRFP awards up to $5,000 for selected proposals by tenured or tenure-track faculty to develop a research or creative activity project that should place them in a better position to seek external funding.<\/p>\n

\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. \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 SRFP 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

The names of the awardees were announced during a congratulatory dinner April 3rd.<\/p>\n
