Public Service
The Institute for Public Service is
responsible for developing and coordinating the university's public service
mission. This mission includes assessing the needs of the citizens and
communities of the region and coordinating the resources of the university to
help address these needs. The Institute is an organization composed of outreach
centers concerned with these issues. The goal of each center is to provide
opportunities for education, training, and research to individuals and groups
across the Commonwealth. These activities provide faculty an opportunity to
consider current problems and to develop hands-on solutions. The new
information gained from this endeavor is then available for classroom
instruction.
Also, Institute staff developed and manage the
Undergraduate Research Program and Graduate Research Program. These programs
provide financial support for undergraduate and graduate students to engage in
scholarly activities in an active learning environment. The success of these
programs has generated a positive attitude among
faculty and students concerning research and its use as an integral part of the
educational experience at
Sponsored Programs
The Office of Sponsored Programs is responsible for managing all issues related
to research grants and contracts awarded to faculty and staff. The Office
is prepared to assist faculty in identifying potential funding sources, in
preparing applications, in designing efficient budgets, and in mailing in
the completed application. The Office has in place policies and procedures
necessary to comply with all federal and state regulations including an Animal
Care and Use Committee, and an Institutional Review Board for Research on
Human Subjects. Faculty who receive external funds are also provided with
assistance in the implementation of their projects, grant accounting procedures,
and other issues related to the project including project close-out and record
keeping.

Support for Distance Education
Since 1998 University faculty have developed and taught a number of distance education courses. The main objective of the program is to offer courses and "programs" in particular that are carefully chosen and developed to match our resources and the market demand.
For further information, see the Distance Education Web site.
Contact: Dr. Christina Sax , Dean of Extended Studies; 477-1348 or csax@ship.edu
Educational Leave of Absence
The University may provide full salary and benefits for one or two semesters for faculty and professional staff who pursue studies important for their professional growth, such as studies leading to the completion of a doctorate.
Contact: Deb Yohe, Provost's Office, 477-1144 or djyohe@ship.edu
Sabbatical Leave
The Sabbatical Leave Committee solicits proposals each fall. Proposals are due the 2nd Friday of the Fall Semester. Awards are competitive and made on the basis of merit.
Contact: Dr. Azim Danesh, Chair, Sabbatical Leave Committee, 477-1674 or danesh@ship.edu
SU Colleges and Departments
The Deans of Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education and Human Services have funds set aside for faculty professional travel and some research expenses. These funds should be applied for through the department chair, who will evaluate the proposal and forward it to the dean. In addition, departments have their own resources to support professional development, including in some cases either funds or released time for research. Please consult with your department chair about these possibilities.
Groups of faculty interested in bringing guest lectures, consultants, or other special programs to campus may request support for special faculty or program development projects. Please apply to the academic deans.
