Dec. 16 Deadline: BU CTSI Mini-sabbaticals

The Boston University CTSI seeks to fund Mini-sabbaticals at other academic and research institutions. The Mini-sabbaticals are intended to encourage intellectual growth and multidisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration. The CTSI is planning to offer three (3) mini-sabbaticals annually.

Mentored faculty, post doctoral scholars, project coordinators and research staff are eligible to apply. Applicants are required to identify a sponsor institution or company where they are planning to take the Mini-sabbatical. The Mini-sabbatical has to be used to learn about a technique, method or a field different from their own and relevant to their mentored research and career development plan. Mini-sabbaticals up to three (3) months will be awarded, $6,000 is available for each mini-sabbatical.

The Mini-Sabbatical Award begins Jan. 1, 2016 and extends through March 31, 2016. Persons interested in the support should submit materials by Dec. 16, 2015 to Sharon Tomlinson at ctsiadmin@bu.edu. More information at  http://www.bu.edu/ctsi/2015/12/03/mini-sabbatical-award/.
