Objective: Presidential Research Grants for Junior Faculty Program gives unrestricted research grants to junior faculty in the Schools of Earth Sciences, Engineering, and Humanities and Sciences. It is structured to provide an incentive at the time of appointment, and a reward for those who achieve tenure. These three schools were chosen for the pilot program to recognize that faculty in these schools have a major responsibility for teaching and advising undergraduates. This program supports the President's emphasis on the synthesis of research and teaching.

Program: Each assistant professor will receive a $5,000 grant in the year of hire, followed by $5,000 at the time of reappointment as an assistant professor or as an untenured associate professor. If a candidate is awarded tenure, he or she will be given a $10,000 research grant in a single lump sum. The funds may be used for travel to scholarly meetings or to conduct research, to procure research materials, to defray the costs of publication, to purchase computers, or for any other purpose in direct support of a faculty member's research program. The funds may not serve as salary support for the recipient, that is, the funds may not be used to support a leave without salary, summer salary, or housing supplements. The recipients will not be required to report on their use of the funds.

The Research Institute of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) currently offers two types of fellowships for Stanford faculty interested in the study of race, ethnicity and culture.

1) The Junior Faculty Professional Development Program is designed to help young faculty produce high-quality scholarship and research during their early years at Stanford by providing time off from teaching responsibilities.

2) The Senior Fellows Program offers an intellectual home to emeritus faculty whose decades of active scholarship are beneficial to the junior faculty and graduate students affiliated with the Center.

Junior Faculty Leave Policy (School of Humanities and Sciences)

School of Humanities and Sciences Junior Faculty Leave Policy: Tenure-track assistant professors reappointed to a second term may take a full year of sabbatical at 100% pay (on the nine-month base salary) during their fifth or sixth year. The intent of this program is to provide every reappointed assistant professor with a full year of leave to enhance the preparation for tenure review and to provide a period of time for pure research leave.
