International Faculty Development Grants are available for faculty through the Faculty Development Committee. The grants are not intended to support basic research. Grant proposals for basic research should be submitted to The School of Graduate Studies and Research. Faculty Development Grants are intended to help faculty who are developing scholarly, creative, and research projects that will eventually lead to substantial results such as peer-reviewed publication, creative and performative works, external funding, or usable products. Proposals seeking funding for travel to present papers at international conferences or to engage in international collaborative research projects will be considered in this category of grants.

 

A Completed Application consists of:

(1) the International Faculty Development Grant Application Form below, including signatures and verification:
(2) The signatures of applicant and the applicant's Department Head are required.
(3) If the applicant is attending a seminar or workshop, verification of their role ( for example, a formal acceptance letter; the relevant page of conference program) must be documented.
