Grants

In addition to external grants and other types of support for scholarly and creative activity and for curriculum innovation, campus-based resources are available for course development and revision, new program development, professional travel and training, conference participation, project collaboration, and more.  A significant proportion of this funding is distributed in competitive review processes conducted by faculty peers (see program guidelines by clicking on links below).
