Faculty Development Grant

28 September 2011

Example of Vita

The criteria for these grants will be the same as last year, however you must apply using the 2011 Faculty Development Grants Application.

• $60,000 of the funding will be available for professional development expenses incurred during the 2011-12 academic year.
• Applications are due to the Provost’s Office (Attn: Barb Painter) no later than November 11. Notifications will be made to faculty prior to the semester break.
• Applications must be submitted through the chair’s office and forwarded to the Provost with the dean’s recommendation.  Beyond that requirement, there are no limits on what activities or equipment may be requested, although individual colleges may elect to set appropriate restrictions and priorities.
• Grants are available only to full-time faculty; to be sure that as many people as possible benefit, no one may receive more than one grant in 2011-12.
• Grant funding is available to cover 75% of ACTUAL expenses, not to exceed $1,000 (i.e. if you have $1,000 in actual expenses, the grant will cover $750). When appropriate, chairs or deans may choose to supplement the request to help cover the full amount required.
• Reimbursements will be issued based on validated expenses.
• Faculty Development grant funds must be expended no later than June 30, 2012.
• Departments must have prior approval from the provost’s office before charging expenditures/travel to the Faculty Development source code.
