Writing Group Grant Program

The Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost created the Faculty Writing Group Grant Program to support instructional faculty in their career development. The grant encourages faculty to form collaborative support networks beyond their home departments and colleges that advance their writing and research throughout their careers. Although initially designed for post-tenure faculty, the program now welcomes all ranks of instructional faculty because groups benefit from membership from this range of career stages and position types.

Groups will receive a $2,000 grant toward their proposed goals, and approximately 5 grants will be funded each year.

Proposals for this grant program should be submitted electronically to Rachel Gabriele on or before May 15, 2024 for consideration.
