1.2: Strategic Hires
Support strategic hires through startup funds Other Information:
Providing startup support is one of the major budgetary challenges faced in hiring faculty, particularly in science and engineering.
Often the school has the faculty line, but is unable to meet the startup requirements needed to attract to Duke a faculty
member of the highest distinction. To enable schools to recruit the very best faculty, the Provost's office will create a
startup fund, from which significant contributions to the one-time startup support for strategic hires can be made. This startup
support is also available to those hired using the bridging support mechanism described in the previous section.
