ISSR supports the development and launching of new methods courses in the social sciences. ISSR does not support course buyouts or summer pay for the development of courses. ISSR can support the salary of a Faculty Associate (FA) to cover a course for a semester. This will give regular teaching faculty time to develop and launch a new course. Hiring an FA requires buy-in from the unit director.
New methods courses supported by ISSR must add to the list of courses already available at ASU that have been approved for either the graduate or undergraduate certificate program.
