Dean's Faculty Grant
This grant, distributed in both the Fall and Spring semesters, is available to all full-time faculty. Amounts ranging from $500 to $6,000 will be awarded for accepted proposals. No more than one request will be approved per academic year. Priority will be given to projects that advance faculty research (particularly for faculty headed into review cycles), creative professional work, connections to curriculum, technology proposals and interdisciplinary and collaborative research projects.
At the conclusion of your project, a short summary report is due to the Office of Faculty. This will be used by the Tisch Initiative for Creative Research to highlight faculty research. Failure to submit this report will result in disqualification from future grants.
The Office of Faculty will offer a Grant Workshop once a year featuring a panel discussion on strategic grant writing.
Dean's Conference Travel Grant
This year we are offering a separate fund, the Dean’s Conference Travel Grant, specifically for expenses associated with academic/professional conference attendance. Amounts ranging from $500-$1000 will be awarded for accepted proposals. You may apply to BOTH funds, but in each case you may only apply ONCE per academic year.

Adjunct Faculty Development Grant
Each school has a budget available to support the professional development of part-time faculty. The Office of Faculty reviews and approves applications for the Professional Development Fund available to eligible adjunct faculty. Adjunct faculty may request up to $1,250. No more than one request will be approved in an academic year. Per the Adjunct contract, grants are awarded on a first come-first serve basis.
