V.      STAFF DEVELOPMENT AWARD FOR NON-TEACHING STAFF

        The objective of this award is to provide administrative and
        professional staff members in the non-teaching offices of the
        University (at or above the rank of Administrative Officer
        (or equivalent)) opportunities for personal and professional
        development, through an attachment to another non-local
        university.  There will be up to 2 awards in each academic year.
        Each recipient will receive a grant/allowance of up to $30,000,
        and the 1-month period of visit will be regarded as absence on
        duty.  A proposal including details of the programme and
        the expected benefits to be gained will have to be endorsed by
        the Head of the applicant’s Office, before it is formally being
        considered by the Staff Development Panel.
