Faculty Research Support Award (FRSA)

The FRSA supports innovation and scholarly productivity by providing NU faculty members with monetary support for pursuing their research agendas. These monies are provided to assist faculty in achieving their research agendas and are in addition to regular faculty duties. These are awarded annually on a rolling basis, worth up to $10,000 each based on approved budget and available funds for a primary applicant submission and up to $15,000 for multiple researcher applications. There are a limited number of FRSA available annually. Final approval is contingent on school or department leadership sign-off.

Publication One Time Payment

NU seeks to promote scholarly publications by our faculty, staff, and students with the identification of NU as affiliated with these works. As such, NU provides up to three Publication Honoraria annually throughout the calendar year. These stipends are independent of professional development funds. The number of stipends awarded to faculty (and co-authors) will depend on annual budget approvals and available funds.

Presentation and Poster One Time Payment

NU seeks to promote scholarly presentations and posters by our faculty, staff, and students (current and alumni). In addition to our current recognition for scholarly work, NU is providing scholarly poster and presentation honoraria. These stipends are awarded independent of professional development funds.
