2003-2004 Chancellor's Research Fellows

Ten TWU faculty have been selected as the third group of Chancellor's Research Fellows.

The program, now in its third year, pairs faculty with strong potential for gaining external research funding with mentors who have been successful at obtaining funds from federal agencies or other sources and at publishing their research.

This year’s protégés and mentors are:

• Dr. Mark Britt (chemistry and physics), who will be mentored by Dr. James Johnson (chemistry and physics);
• Dr. Ann Malecha (nursing), who will be mentored by Dr. Judith McFarlane (nursing);
• Dr. Kyle Biggerstaff (kinesiology), who will be mentored by Dr. Barney Sanborn (kinesiology)
• Dr. Anne Stiles (nursing), who will be mentored by Dr. Patti Hamilton (nursing);
• Dr. Junehee Kwon (nutrition and food sciences), who will be mentored by Dr. Carolyn Bednar (nutrition and food sciences).

Protégés receive awards of $3,000 and mentors receive $1,500 to use for their individual research needs. Funding was provided by the TWU Chancellor’s Circle and the TWU Foundation.

Mentors assist their protégés in developing their research agendas and grant applications. Protégés are responsible for preparing at least one proposal for external funding during the fellowship year or the following academic year. Both mentors and protégés participate in research roundtables where topics such as finding funding proposals and proposal review and critique are discussed.
