Today marks the launch of the Extended Campus Research Fellows (ECRF) Program, which provides funding to support the research, development and scholarship efforts of faculty and departments in the area of online education.

The ECRF Program falls under the newly established Extended Campus Research Unit. The unit is led by Research Director Kathryn Linder, who previously served as the Director of the Center for Teaching & Scholarly Excellence at Suffolk University in Boston.

If you’re interested in conducting research on online teaching and learning, you can apply now. The deadline is Nov. 1. Visit the ECRF Program site for more details.
