Old Gold Summer Fellowships are provided as a developmental program for probationary tenure-track assistant and associate professors with nine-month appointments. The award must be taken during the first or second summer of a probationary tenure-track appointment at The University of Iowa. Details of eligibility are usually described in the faculty offer letter.

This award provides recipients with funding for summer work to carry out research activities, creative work, or instructional development. Each summer fellowship is expected to result in at least one project for publication, exhibit, performance, or instructional use, or a major grant application. Awards are fixed at $6,000, split in the following manner:

• A salary stipend of $3,000 (from which taxes and fringe benefits will be deducted),
• Tax-exempt funds of $3,000 that may be used to support, travel, equipment, or other research or instructional development needs.
