Faculty Innovation, Development, and Enhancement (FIDE)

Program Description

Faculty Innovation, Development, and Enhancement (FIDE) is a program, developed by the Office of Faculty Affairs and the Division of Research, to support mid-career faculty.  This program is designed to  assist faculty who would benefit from revision, restart, innovation, or further development of their scholarly agendas. 

FIDE will hold eight three-hour trainings workshops with focus on:  

• Strategically thinking about and pursuit of new scholarship agenda. 

• Development of high impact scholarly/creative projects. 

• Identification and successful pursuit of external funding opportunities. 

• Engagement in meaningful collaborative efforts and projects. 

• Align one’s teaching and service with their scholarship.  

In addition, FIDE will organize two 4-day “Write-Ins” that will provide participating faculty with the time and space for implementation. During these Write-Ins, faculty will have access to staff who specialize in writing and grant development.
