The 2025 Charlotte Zietlow Endowment for Women Faculty Research Grant Application is now available. Submissions are due April 4, 2025.
“This endowment is intended as a stipend to support non-tenured women faculty at Indiana State University as they pursue research and personal development in their professional field which will assist them towards promotion and tenure at Indiana State University. It is my perception that financial assistance for faculty at this stage of their careers is not widely available and can be of significant importance as they develop their portfolios. No doubt the same is true for male faculty, but my experience is that women have historically had a harder row to hoe in academia, and frequently have to balance home and career to a greater extent than their male counterparts. I would hope this would give them one additional tool to help them move forward in their teaching, research and service to Indiana State University, and to the learning community in general.”

The selection committee will consider applications from pre-tenure women faculty who have completed their first-year review successfully.
Primary consideration is given to the quality of the application narrative and the strength of the project described. The narrative should include a research plan, immediate and future goals for the project, the potential contribution of the project to scholarship in the faculty member’s discipline, and its importance to one’s tenure decision. The applicant’s Department Chairperson will need to complete a survey of support.
Applications can be submitted here.
The department chairperson’s support survey is located here.
