Vice President's Visiting Expert Program
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Deadlines for proposal submission each year are:
September 15 – December 15 – March 15
The
College of Food , Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
Faculty Council will support a program to bring outstanding
scientists and educators to OSU for short (2-4 day) visits
for the purpose of mutual interaction and to benefit from
the expertise of the visiting expert. Visits should promote
interdisciplinary activities and address needs or interests
in research, teaching or extension programs. The purpose of
the program is to bring experts to our College that would
address diverse and widely appealing topics, stimulate new
thinking and create a flow of ideas. Faculty in all departments
of the CFAES are encouraged to submit proposals . This
is not simply another seminar support program but rather is
meant to foster intensive interaction with faculty, staff
and students. This is also an opportunity for the expert to
become acquainted with programs at The Ohio State University.
It is anticipated that one to two programs will be supported
per quarter with a funding level of up to $2,000 per program.
With
the goal of maximizing impact on CFAES, proposals will be
assessed on a competitive basis using the following criteria:
•
Interdisciplinary
•
Size and breadth of interested audience
•
Credentials of visiting expert
•
Potential for external exposure given to CFAES
Exposure
to multiple locations of CFAES is expected unless the proposal
clearly states why it is not essential. Multiple locations
may include the Columbus and Wooster campuses, and District
Extension Offices. The use of video linkages between these
locations is strongly encouraged and would be considered favorably.

the following information and be submitted ELECTRONICALLY
