Research Release

Dawson College recognizes that lack of time is the biggest barrier for college teachers planning to do research. Since 1996, Dawson College has reserved the equivalent of 3 full-time teaching equivalents (3 FTEs) to support faculty researchers.

Although priority is given to researchers who are funded through recognized research agencies, the College tries to support other research efforts when there are sufficient funds available.

Faculty researchers who wish to be considered for research release must complete and submit the annual Teaching Release Application form. The form is made available at the beginning of each winter session by the Academic Dean’s Office.

For further information on research release, please contact the Research Coordinator or the Dean of Academic Development.
