Introduction
To qualify for the Faculty Practice Fund, the applicant(s) must:
- be practicing faculty within the College of Nursing who has a practice contract through the Morehead Center for Nursing Practice that contributes to the Faculty Practice Fund.
- have a current RN license.
- complete the necessary application with receipt at least 30 days prior to needing the funds.
The Faculty Practice Fund can be used to reimburse for the following items using this priority order:
- Scholarly projects and/or dissemination
- Continuing education
The Faculty Practice Fund cannot be used for required work documentation (e.g., nursing licenses or certifications such as DEA). Other special reimbursement requests may be considered by the External Affairs Committee.
Process
Faculty will apply for funds for scholarly projects, dissemination, continuing education, and any other special requests. The External Affairs Committee will review all applications. The External Affairs Committee will determine whether to fund the request and if funded, how much money to award based upon scholarly merit of the project or the contribution the activity will make to furthering faculty practice at the CON and any related discussion. Funding scholarly projects, dissemination, and continuing education is dependent upon having sufficient funds available. Applications to be received on a rolling basis.
