STAFF and FACULTY/LIBRARIAN AWARDS - 2010
The Diversity Inclusion Resource Institute (DIRI)
awards recognize many types of contributions that help to make BSU
inclusive for all. These awards focus on three different types of work
-- research/scholarship, creative endeavors, and other practices in
higher education. The purpose of these awards is to acknowledge the
ongoing work being done at BSU to create a campus environment
characterized by excellence and equity.
AWARD DESCRIPTION
In the 2009-2010 academic year, DIRI will
offer three $1000.00 awards to full or part-time staff, faculty, and
librarians. Each award is described below:
- The DIRI Practices in Higher Education Award: This award will be
given to a campus member whose body of work reflects the mission of
the BSU community in its efforts to encourage a diverse and
equitable environment.
- The DIRI Research Award: This award will be given to a campus
member whose body of research/scholarship has been informed by
culturally inclusive foci, methodologies, and/or dissemination
strategies.
- The DIRI Creative Endeavor Award: This award will be given to a
campus member whose body of creative work has been informed by
culturally inclusive foci, methodologies, and/or dissemination
strategies.
Award nominations can be submitted on behalf
of yourself or a colleague whose diversity-related work you would like
to have recognized. Please indicate in the nomination letter which award
is being applied for. Individuals may only be considered for one award
per year, and can receive each award only once in their employment at
BSU. Nomination materials should consist of the following:
- A 2-3 page description of how the nominee's work meets the award
criterion;
- The nominee's current resume or CV.
Applications are due April 23, 2010 and should
be sent electronically to DIRI Chair, Sabrina Gentlewarrior at
sabrina.gentlewarrior@bridgew.edu. A
committee comprised of DIRI members and the Director of the Office of
Institutional Diversity will make the selections. Awardees will be
required to post a one page description of their work on the DIRI
website.
Past Resources:
The Adrian Tinsley Program would like to remind all
faculty that the program offers students support for advanced
undergraduate research through the ATP SEMESTER GRANT.
All faculty are invited to attend one of the two
ATP Semester Grant Workshops. These workshops will be held in the OUR,
200 Maxwell Library on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 from 12:30-1:30 and on
Tuesday, 2 February 2010 from 10:00 -11:00.
Individual students working on an individual
project may receive up to $300 for supplies, books, research-related
travel (not travel to conferences), or photocopy costs.
Individual students applying as a part of a group
of students working on a common research project may receive $175 per
group member. For example, a research group consisting of two
students can propose a budget not to exceed $350, a research group
consisting of three students can propose a budget not to exceed $525.
However, the total reimbursement for any group cannot exceed $750.
ATP also offers the
Course Embedded Research Grant
to support course-embedded research to full or part time faculty
teaching an undergraduate course at Bridgewater State University. The grant
is meant to support discipline-appropriate research experiences that are
both manageable within a classroom and a semester and that an entire
class will participate in. The course-embedded research grant is
different from other ATP grants because the faculty member teaching the
course applies for the grant money and works with Kathy Frederick in the
Office of Undergraduate Research to spend the funds on research-related
travel, equipment purchases, and other relevant expenditures related to
research experiences that an entire class will participate in. Up to 500
dollars are available per class, per semester.
Completed
applications must be turned in to Ms. Kathy Frederick, Office of
Undergraduate Research, room 200 Maxwell Library, by 4:00 PM on 12
February 2010.

application, please see the website:
