Question: Could I get a sense of a project title appropriate for a lecturing award?
Answer: Typically the project title for lecturing would be the subject(s) you'll lecture on. Do not say "lecturing in American literature." "The American Novel and its Impact on the American Image" works much better and seems far more literate.
Question: I was wondering more about the project title. I am applying for a lecture award. The two courses I am sending syllabi for are quite different in topic, though both in my field. Is it better for the title to be a little bit enticing or flatly descriptive?
Answer: We prefer, in part because it gets published in several places, some thing that is descriptive of the courses being offered. So "lecturing on literature and mechanics" is not so good, but "American novels; the importance of wrenches in auto mechanics" works better.
Question: I am applying for a lecturing/research award and will propose to teach in a field that is different that the topic on which I am writing a manuscript.
Answer: When you're applying for a combined lecturing/research award, the project title can be in two parts separated by a semi-colon, since the lecturing and research portions may be on different subjects.
