Affiliate and Associate Faculty Application Form (pdf)

The purpose of the Institute for Families in Society associate and affiliate faculty policy is to further the Institute's mission by facilitating the creation of productive and mutually beneficial relationships with faculty members who currently occupy full-time or part-time positions in another unit within the University, other Institutions of Higher Education, or scholarly community partners; and who, by virtue of their research agendas, identify with and are deemed capable of significant contributions to the Institute's mission. The policy also serves as a vehicle for cooperation between the IFS and the departments or organizations in which associate and affiliated faculty members have academic appointments.

Affiliate Faculty: Currently hold a Masters degree or higher, occupy full-time or part-time positions in another unit within the University, other Institutions of Higher Education, or scholarly community partners; and who, by virtue of their research agendas are collaborating with IFS in a formal way OR are a co-investigator on one or more IFS grants. Affiliate faculty have the right to participate on IFS committees and are eligible for IFS seed grants as appropriate.
