Purposes of the Program<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Presidential Fund for Professional Development is a special fund of $11,000 that has been set aside to assist University faculty in becoming excellent teachers and scholars. Monies from this fund are intended to support faculty members traveling to conferences to improve their teaching or to present their research and scholarship at national or international conferences. Priority will be given to those attending conferences about teaching<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Awards from the Presidential Fund for Professional Development will be given in amounts up to $1,000 per fiscal year, per faculty member.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eligibility to Apply for Funding<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

To be eligible to apply for teaching conference funding, the faculty member must attend a conference or conference track related to teaching. If the applicant chooses to attend a teaching track at a disciplinary conference, they must attend at least three sessions on the teaching track. The applicant does not need to present at the conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

The conference can be directly related to the applicant\u2019s field (<\/span>list disciplinary conferences<\/span><\/a>) or a general teaching conference (for example, a <\/span>Lilly conference<\/span><\/a>). After the conference, the faculty member will meet with Adams Center staff to share what they have learned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, an applicant may be presenting their research at a national or international conference or program within his\/her discipline. The event must be generally recognized by the discipline as a major conference or program. The presentation can be either a paper or poster accepted through a peer-review process or an invited presentation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Monies from this fund may not be used to supplement participation that is otherwise funded by the conference organization. Monies from this fund must not be used to exceed the costs of conference participation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Application Process<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Applications will be submitted to the Faculty Development Committee through the online form. Applicants should be prepared to provide:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
