Mid-Career Study Grant

The Mid-Career Study Grant is designed for full-time faculty to support clearly defined professional development activities that will enable them to extend their teaching, research, or creative work into new areas. The outcome of the proposed activity must be closely tied either to pedagogical and/or curriculum development, or to their scholarly or artistic development more broadly.  

For the purposes of this grant, “mid-career faculty” are defined as the following: post-tenure faculty, Associate Professors of the Practice, and Senior Lecturers. Faculty who hold named professorships or fellowships (internal or external) that provide significant ($5,000 or more) funding for research or professional activities during the same period of the Mid-Career Study award are not eligible.

Funds can be used for activities such as courses, workshops, degree/certificate/credential programs, language training, webinars, travel (if necessary for accomplishing the proposed goals), skill building, in-person skill development/apprenticeship, etc. 

Award Amount: $1,500–$5,000.

Full guidelines are available in the application form.
