Tenure-track faculty receive a tenure-track research sabbatical (typically in their 4th year) and can apply for funds to support teaching innovations and research-related expenses.

Additional funding is available for professional travel, and may include research start-up costs. In addition to teaching (50%) and research (30%) expectations, tenure-track faculty mentor undergraduate and graduate students and participate meaningfully in the life of the department and university through service (20%).
