INDIANA CAMPUS COMPACT
Faculty Fellows Program
2006-2007 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)
FACT SHEET
Who Can Apply: Faculty from all disciplines and professional schools at Indiana Campus Compact (ICC) member
campuses are eligible to apply. Former Fellows are eligible to apply, however preference is given to new applicants.
Fellowship Overview: In his article, "The Scholarship of Engagement," the late Ernest Boyer wrote, “…The academy
must become a more vigorous partner in the search for answers to our most pressing social, civic, economic, and moral
problems, and must affirm its historic commitment to what I call the scholarship of engagement.”1 Based on Boyer’s
concept that community engagement provides an excellent means by which the three components of faculty professional
development of teaching, research, and professional service can support and strengthen each other, Indiana Campus
Compact awards Faculty Fellowships as a model for faculty professional development through the scholarship of
engagement. The overall goals of the program include:
 supporting Fellows in the practice of the scholarship of engagement;
 developing Fellows as faculty leaders in modeling best practices, recruiting other faculty, and institutionalizing
service-learning;
 encouraging Fellows to build a strong and productive social and intellectual community of scholars; and
 providing Fellows opportunities to collaborate with a community organization in a way that advances teaching
and scholarship while addressing a significant social, economic, or environmental issue.
Fellows are expected to model the integration of community engagement into all three aspects of their professional
development in the following ways:
 Teaching: Each Fellow will teach a service-learning course within the program period.
 Research: Each Fellow will design a research, scholarly, or artistic project relating to the service performed with
a community organization or to the practice of service-learning, to be initiated during the program period.
 Professional Service: Each Fellow will provide direct service to a nonprofit organization during the program
year to assist in addressing a particular community issue that is related to his/her academic discipline or expertise
as an educator.
Fellowship Amount: The fellowship amount is $5,000.
Availability:
 Up to 7 fellowships are competitively awarded in each academic year, in addition to one Senior Fellow.
 The fellowship fiscal period is twelve months, from June 1 to May 31.
Proposals Due: March 31, 2006

NOTE – ALL proposals must be properly routed through
the fiscal routing system at an applicant’s institution prior to
submission to Indiana Campus Compact. However, if the institution is an
Indiana University campus, routing through Research & Sponsored Programs or Sponsored Research Services is
not required. Because ICC functions fiscally through Indiana University, sub-awards to IU applicants are made
internally. For the Bloomington, Indianapolis, & Columbus campuses the applicant’s School Dean or Department
Responsibility Center must sign as Authorized Fiscal Officer. For all other IU campuses, the fiscal/business affairs
officer is the appropriate Authorized Fiscal Officer signatory.
Selection Criteria:
Content
 Quality of the plan to integrate community engagement into teaching, research, and professional service.
 Strength of participant, community, and institutional impact objectives.
Capacity
 Evidence of the ability to deliver leadership development outcomes in modeling best practices, recruiting other
faculty, and institutionalizing service-learning.
 Potential for improving and advancing service-learning practice and research, disciplinary research related to
community engagement, and faculty/community collaboration.
Collaboration
 Evidence of strong relationships between individual faculty and community based organizations that advance the
faculty member’s teaching and scholarship while addressing a significant social, economic, or environmental issue.
 Evidence of the desire to collaborate with other faculty. In an effort to build a strong and productive social and
intellectual community of scholars, Faculty Fellows are linked through retreats, a listserv, conference calls, and
group projects, as well as Indiana Campus Compact events. This effort to build community among the Faculty
Fellows is viewed as central to the success of the program. Faculty members who do not wish to collaborate with
other faculty throughout the state will be better served by submitting a Scholarship of Engagement proposal.
Commitment
 Institutional commitment to service-learning and civic engagement.
 Evidence that the applicant will continue to model the integration of community engagement into teaching,
research, and professional service beyond the fellowship period.
