Applications are open to faculty in all three schools though only faculty in CAS are eligible for the CAS Dean's summer grants.
All applications will be reviewed by the department, the dean, and the Summer Research Fellowship Selection Committee. The deansCAS dean, the director office of mission & identity, and the vice president for academic affairs will make funding decisions based on the recommendations of these reviews and the funding line they each administer.
