DIP Application Review 程序
的 review process takes approximately three months and is reviewed by:
1. 的 Department/Division Chair or School Director
2. Department Committee
3. 学院院长
4. 教务长
的 Department/Division Chair or School Director (图书馆和辅导员教师的适当签名可能会有所不同)审查DIP提案, considering the effect on the curriculum and operations of the department/division/school. 例如, 系主任可能会在同一学期收到来自一个小项目的教师的两份建议，并认为如果这两份建议都被授予，将会不适当地影响该部门提供核心课程的能力.
的 Department Committee, which is comprised of tenured faculty not applying for a DIP, reviews all DIP proposals from the 大学 or unit. 委员会根据申请中描述的要求和使用已公布的标题来考虑DIP提案的质量. Once the committee has reached a consensus on the rubric of the evaluation form, the committee chair completes the evaluation form, representing the consensus of the committee. Comments are added to provide the faculty with further input on the quality of the proposal. 所有委员会成员的名字都写在表格上，委员会主席在表格上签名. 的 recommendation is forwarded to the 大学 dean or unit head.
的 学院院长 or Unit Head reviews all DIP proposals from the department/division/school or unit. 的 dean reviews the recommendations of the department committee. 的 dean also considers the approvals and non-approvals from department chairs, 其他校园需求, and 大学 budget implications. 的 dean completes an evaluation for each proposal.
的 教务长 reviews sabbatical submissions, the evaluations of committees and 大学 deans, and considers the rankings of those sabbatical proposals that were recommended, 在制定休假奖励时，还要考虑大学的预算和计划需求. 如果学院和教务长推荐，可以获得两个学期的半薪休假, as budgetary and programmatic needs of the university allow. 大学推荐休假申请的数量通常远远超过可以资助的数量. 教务长办公室通知获得奖励和未获得奖励的教员，并向教员提供学院委员会和院长的评估表格. 当没有获得休假的教师决定在接下来的一年重新提交时，这些评估表格可能会有所帮助.
注意: Office of 教员事务 prepares the 大学 packets for the provost’s review. 学院事务办公室还支持教务长办公室，确保将获奖信件和未获奖提案的信件发送给学院. 该办公室还维护一个DIP跟踪电子表格，以确保每个教员都被通知其提案的状态, that promissory notes are received for those with DIPs awarded, 并与学院院长办公室核实，报告是在恢复服务后收到的. 重要的是，各院系和学院在休假开始和休假归来时及时提交休假etf.
