All regular, full-time Emory faculty, regardless of rank, are welcome to apply. URC eligibility follows the criteria for “full-time faculty” as defined within each school. Part-time faculty and postdocs, fellows, adjuncts, research track lines in some schools are not eligible.

Each applicant may submit one application selected from one of the following categories:
