from the department chair must accompany such
applications explaining the research requirement.

priority on the clarity of the proposal and the applicant’s
attention to the essential details. The proposal must
include sufficient detail to convince the Committee that
the proposed research is scholarly, that it will make a

where appropriate, that it will provide a foundation for
further research, including information about any
applications the applicant plans on submitting for
extramural funding.
