Faculty Writing Workshop Grants

Purpose

To encourage faculty to make research results available to a public forum for professional consideration through in-house writing workshops that fit within the 黑料网 mission and values. New faculty and new research areas are encouraged in the proposal review process.

Description

  1. The grant is for workshops to prepare manuscripts for submission for publication. The stipend is normally a maximum of $300, and the maximum number of weeks for a workshop is two weeks.
  2. The grant may include a designated amount above the stipend for relevant and appropriate expenses, payable on presentation of receipts. (Appropriate expenses are likely to be items related to publication needs, software, reasonable refreshments, etc.)
  3. The workshop will include a minimum of two participants.
  4. Recipients will need to complete their projects or negotiate an acceptable resolution with the Faculty Development Committee, in order to be eligible for any subsequent grant.

  5. The purchase of equipment should be funded by other sources.
  6. Preference will be given to proposals that connect individuals’ workshop goals to scholarship goals in their Faculty Growth Plans.
