New Grants and Grant Cycles!
As we mentioned last month, we have done a lot of work with FTLC to better align our offerings to faculty, and make them more concise and predictable. We started with changes to the dissemination and mini grants:
• Faculty Travel Support Grant: we have expanded the Dissemination Grant to include any travel related to your research and creative practice. It is now called the Faculty Travel Support Grant. Faculty may apply for one of these $600 grants per fiscal year.
• Momentum Fund: we have re-imagined the Mini Grant and are calling it the Momentum Fund. This is a more competitive grant than the Mini was, but the award has been raised to $2,000! Faculty may apply for one per fiscal year.
We are also working on a change to the Catalyst Grant, which will be called the Seed Grant. It will still offer up to $5,000 for project support, and be reviewed by the Faculty Research and Development Committee. The focus will be more on the "seed" aspect. More information will be coming before the first deadline for this grant. The Seed Grant and the Collaborative Grant will be on the same funding cycles: two rounds per academic year with deadlines on December 15th and March 1st.
