Description & Submission
- CLA - Funding Information
- CLA Publication Subvention
- To continue growing our scholarly publication volume, the College of Liberal Arts will support subvention fees to cover publication in high quality, peer review, and reputable journals and academic presses. Subvention awards do not cover time or efforts to develop/write scholarly works. We will not support subvention fees in vanity presses. The College reserves the right to request and obtain additional information regarding reputation and peer review processes.
- CLA Grant Writing Development
- To continue growing the research activities in the College of Liberal Arts we have set aside funds to support faculty development in grant writing. Faculty can apply for support travel related to training/workshops, seminars, visit/meet funding agencies; and individual conference sessions related to grant development.
- CLA Proposals for Funding Projects/Events
- To better support faculty endeavors seeking to contribute to faculty, student and institutional engagement and success, the College of Liberal Arts has designated funding to support projects or events that align with these objectives. The College reserves the right to request and obtain additional information on your request. Travel to scholarly conferences and other academic venues may be supported. Evidence of a leadership role in the organization or conference (e.g., chairing a panel, or organizing a session, for example) must be provided.
- CLA Proposal for Research Focused Travel
- To increase the research prominence of the institution, additional support for travel is now available for tenure and tenure-track faculty with significant research/scholarship workload. The College of Liberal Arts established an online request portal to allow for tenured and tenure-track faculty to apply for these funds. Priority will be given to travel that boosts our faculty’s prominence, such as presenting, and/or chairing sessions, or attending in official capacities (e.g., member of board of the organization; the organizing committee).
- CLA Career Development for Professional Track Faculty
- The College of Liberal Arts has established an online request portal to allow submissions to increase the career and leadership development of Professional Track Faculty (PTF) (formerly “Non-Tenure Track”). This funding opportunity serves to support activities for career advancement and professional development. Potential activities that are eligible for funding consideration may include but are not limited to leadership roles at conferences (e.g., member of board of the organization; the organizing committee; chairing panels), or participation in workshops, continuing education, and professional courses.
