“For decades, our faculty have benefited from the support generously provided by the UMKC Trustees for the Faculty Fellow and Scholar Awards. Previously, these awards were both presented annually. Since 2022, each one will be alternately awarded every year. This change is a reflection of the performance of the funds that support the awards and not the UMKC Trustees’ commitment to research and the faculty. For this year’s award cycle 2024, only applications for the Faculty Scholar Award will be accepted. Over time, the Trustees hope that both will return to be awarded on an annual basis.”
