Approximately $40,000 per year is available for the following two awards categories. The final funding decisions on these proposals are made by Hemingway Trustees, following review and recommendation by the RSPG Committee of the Faculty Senate.

• Hemingway Collaborative Project Awards involving two or more Weber State faculty (priority will be given to proposals focusing on two or more separate disciplines).
• Hemingway Faculty Excellence Awards for faculty projects that have the potential to positively and significantly impact a broader community, either on or off-campus. Examples might include substantial faculty or undergraduate research projects, first-year student success projects, or scholar-in-residence that exceeds one week in length.

The Hemingway Award (Collaboration and Faculty Excellence) recipients will receive recognition from the Hemingway Trustees at a spring luncheon.

These proposals must clearly specify how the benefit goes beyond individual faculty and impacts a broader community. The community may be defined as the faculty member’s department, college, or an off-campus partner.
