Finding Funding for Leaves
May 2, 2024 at 12pm VIA ZOOM
Presented by the Office of Sponsored Projects in collaboration with the Faculty Development Committee (FD), this workshop will explore the process of finding funding to extend sabbaticals and untenured faculty leaves to two semesters. Professors Vanessa Massaro (Geography) and Steve Jordan (Biology) will discuss their experience securing grant support from external funders, and OSP Research Development Manager Rhonda Newton will provide an overview of funding resources. While the focus will be on finding external funding, a representative of FDC will also be available for questions about UTFL and sabbaticals more broadly.
Please RSVP; you will then be sent a calendar invite with the zoom link.
