Faculty Development and Travel Grants
Faculty Development Fund
The Faculty Development Fund exists to aid the growth and development of individual faculty members at this institution. Project proposals may involve creative activity, research, writing, training and study, and program development. Projects are ranked and funded on the basis of their merit.
Historically, the Awards Committee has given low scores to applicants for equipment or supplies not directly related to the specific development project. When a project proposal is contingent on the candidate's acceptance into an institute or seminar, a letter of support from the sponsoring organization is required before funds will be released. The Faculty Development Fund is not designed to recognize or compensate teaching activities.
Eligible faculty may apply for up to $2,500 in development funds this year. The deadline to apply is Oct. 20. See the Faculty Handbook, Chap IV for limitations and details.
