LETTER OF SUPPORT: Applicants must have the support of the departments in which they will be working in 2012-13. Please ask your chair or dean to write a statement affirming the institution's financial support for your participation (see the information for chairs). This support may come from such sources as department and college funds, grants or start-up funds for new faculty. Assurances of financial support are of critical importance in the application process—so you should be sure to discuss with the person writing your support letter how your participation in Project NExT will be funded. We are also interested in how the applicant's participation in Project NExT would contribute to the department's goals. Please give the name and e-mail address of the person who will be writing your letter of support. We will be contacting her/him by e-mail to solicit a letter once your application has been received. Accordingly, please contact her/him before submitting your application so that s/he is aware of this.
