One of LTU’s strategic goals is to attain the R2 research-university status within the next few years, and markedly increase our research, scholarship, and other innovative and creative endeavors of significant intellectual merit and broader impact.
The Faculty Research Fellowship program, which is offered in alternating years, supports faculty to engage more deeply in externally funded research.

Program workshops will include content and instruction on development of critical areas of presenting the research problem, objectives, methods, assessment, and outreach strategies. As a program requirement, fellows will confer with program officials to discuss funding opportunities and will participate in peer reviews.
Fellows are required to submit a complete proposal to an external sponsor within 4 months of program conclusion.
