Bridging Fellowships are not considered regular academic leaves of absence. Therefore, a faculty member might qualify for an academic leave of absence immediately after a bridging experience. For junior tenure-track faculty, a Bridging Fellowship does not \u201cstop the clock\u201d on the contractual arrangement with the University.","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"},{"acf_fc_layout":"card_grid","anchor":"past-winners","css_class":"max-text-left title-line t-navy t-below centered","title":"
