The intent of this program is to augment individual scholarly and professional development efforts. Evidence that other development funds have been invested in or exhausted on a proposed project will strengthen an application.
Funds are limited.
Awards are competitive and amounts awarded are subject to availability of funds and committee discretion. Faculty who have not received personal level support during an academic year, all other things being equal, have precedence over those who have. Applications may be submitted at any time. Consultation with a member of the Faculty Development Committee is recommended. When the proposed project is completed, individuals are asked to submit a one-paragraph summary of what was accomplished using faculty development resources.
