Examples of eligible activities include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Institutional, academic unit, and discipline-specific planning meetings and task forces
• Participation in Faculty and institutional governance (Faculty Councils; General Faculties Council)
• Selection committees
• MRFA-Board joint committees and MRFA committees
• External services as a formal representative of MRU
• View this non-exhaustive list of Service Opportunities at MRU by Type for more information

Contract faculty wishing to request an honorarium must submit a completed form to office@mrfa.net by the second Friday in May each calendar year, documenting service work provided from May 1^st of the previous calendar year to April 30^th of the current calendar year.  The annual grant will be distributed in May, proportionately based on the number of eligible honoraria submissions received.
