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 Office of Sponsored Programs. 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.
