Purpose
The Faculty Practice Fund operates as a practice-based scholarship dissemination and professional development support mechanism for eligible faculty practitioners.
Scope
This policy applies to all College of Nursing (CON) faculty who maintain an active faculty practice appointment through the Morehead Center for Nursing Practice (MCNP) and whose practice activities result in sustained contribution to the Faculty Practice Fund for the majority of their contracted faculty practice period.
Policy
The Faculty Practice Fund is to support the dissemination of practice‑based scholarship, with additional support for ongoing, equitable professional development and continuing education for faculty practitioners engaged in practice through the MCNP, in alignment with the mission and practice priorities of the CON.
Eligibility
Faculty are eligible for Faculty Practice Fund support if they:
- Hold an active faculty practice appointment through the MCNP, and
- Maintain a current practice agreement that contributes regularly to the Faculty Practice Fund.
Eligibility is contingent upon active participation in practice through MCNP.
Faculty Practice Fund support is not prorated based on faculty rank, FTE, or percentage of practice allocation, provided eligibility criteria are met.
