TIMMERHAUS FUND AMBASSADORS
Call for Proposals: 2023-24
Klaus Timmerhaus (1924-2011) was a Professor of Chemical Engineering at CU Boulder and a charter member of the President’s Teaching Scholars Program. After a long career dedicated to education, he left a bequest to support activities that promote public understanding of the value of higher education in Colorado and elsewhere. The President’s Teaching Scholars Program is looking to fund CU faculty who would be interested in becoming Timmerhaus Ambassadors to undertake projects that incorporate these aims. Annual funding of projects ranges from $5,000 up to $30,000 each.
To apply, please prepare a preliminary application of no more than two pages outlining the proposed activities, including a rough budget for costs not customarily covered by CU. Chair’s support and approval is needed if offloads, for example, are expected.
Please submit your preliminary application to Raphael Sassower, PTSP Council Chair, at rsassowe@uccs.edu by midnight on 4/30 and 10/31. Promising proposals will be invited to submit a full proposal, including a detailed budget, by midnight of the following quarterly deadline. Preliminary applications and full proposals will be considered during each of the quarterly meetings of the Council in May and November.
The upcoming deadline for preliminary applications is Sun., April 30, 2023.
