Faculty Development Grant Proposal

PURPOSE OF CAM FACULTY DEVELOPMENT GRANTS

Faculty Development Grants serve faculty at CU Denver College of Arts & Media (CAM). The purpose of the CAM Faculty Development Grant (FDG) is to:

Support tenure-track/tenured faculty and clinical teaching track faculty to create and disseminate their creative and scholarly work (which encompasses the scholarship of teaching and learning), and to participate on board level service to national and international arts related professional bodies relative to the requestor’s appointment.
Support recently appointed tenure-track and clinical teaching track faculty within their first four years of hire, to attend (vs present at) conferences as a means of growing dissemination activities and networking and/or keeping current in their field.
Provide matching grants as appropriate and in line with purposes.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to full-time faculty with scholarly and creative work expectations: tenured, tenure-track, and clinical teaching track. Faculty may apply for multiple grants within the same academic year, with priority given to first-time applicants in the current AY that have not received funding in the previous AY.

GUIDELINES:

Priority consideration will be given to tenure-track faculty.
All funds awarded in AY 2023-24 must be expended by June 30, 2024.
While faculty may apply for more than one grant per academic year, priority will be given to first-time applicants in the current AY that have not received funding the prior AY. Annual funding will be limited to $2,500 per faculty member barring substantial mitigating circumstances.
There is no guarantee that an activity funded in one AY will be funded in subsequent academic years.

INELIGIBLE EXPENSES, EXCLUSIONS and EXCEPTIONS

If you do not submit an outcome report for grants received, you will be ineligible for the next funding cycle.
Faculty must request, in writing to the FDG Review Committee, approval for any changes to the budget or deviations from the scope of work reported in the award.
CAM will not support the purchase of individual dues or memberships to professional organizations (unless membership dues offset registration costs).
CAM funds cannot be used for the purpose of course buy-outs. Course buy-outs will be considered upon receipt of funded awards per CAM's Course Buyout Policy (CAM #19.0001).

All funds must be fully expended by current fiscal year-end deadlines, or in exceptional circumstances, a carry forward request must be submitted. Any unused grant monies will be forfeited at the end of the fiscal year (June 30).
