Grants are available to all full-time faculty. Dean's Faculty Research Grants ranging from $500-$6,000 will be awarded to submitted proposals.
IMPORTANT CHANGE: There is now only 1 deadline for Dean’s Faculty Research Grants - September 26, 2025. There is no 2nd application period later in the academic year so please apply now.
Please note that this deadline is for funding for creative/research projects only. If your research project entails travel, you may include it as part of your application for this research grant. We are offering a separate fund, the Dean’s Conference/Workshop Travel Grant, specifically for expenses associated with academic/professional conference or workshop attendance (more details to follow).
Examples of acceptable uses of Dean's Faculty Research Grant funds:
Conference/Festival/Workshop Travel Grants (maximum of $1,000) will be awarded to Fall 2025 applicants on a rolling basis until funds are depleted (first come, first serve). There is no application deadline.
Faculty with research funds must exhaust those funds prior to applying for this grant.

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. Per the new contract, the schools are instructed to divide up the funds into Fall and Spring semesters.
Please note that we will begin accepting applications no earlier than September 2, 2025 at 9am. Application processing will only begin once the funds are awarded (this can happen at any time during the fall semester, the University controls this timeline not the school). You will be notified regarding your application once your application is processed.
Note: Fall Applications - Your proposed spending MUST take place during the Fall 2025 semester. If your spending is planned for Spring 2026 you MUST wait until January 20, 2026.

Faculty and Administrators should refer to these guidelines when submitting invoices and receipts for grant reimbursement.
The Board of Trustees of New York University prohibits those activities or behavior which conflict with the best interests of the University. Transactions therefore between a supplier of goods or services and the University in which a conflict of interest exists are prohibited.
“Conflict of interest” is defined as a situation in which a University official, faculty, staff, or any of such person’s family or associates either has (1) an existing or potential financial or other material interest that impairs or might appear to impair that person’s independence and objectivity of judgment in the discharge of responsibilities to the University, or (2) may receive a financial or other material benefit from knowledge of information confidential to the University.
For specific rules and requirements established by the Board of Trustees, see the Conflicts of Interest Policy for Trustees, Officers, and Senior Administrators of the University.
Funds will not be advanced ahead of activities, are subject to all NYU business expense guidelines, and are available only as reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. Funds will be reimbursed based on actual expenses which may be less than that approved and may not exceed the amount approved.
