Several distinct and varied workshops will address the scholarship needs of underrepresented minority (URM) faculty. These workshops provide faculty opportunities to meet and interact with senior scholars in their field who can offer feedback on their book project or research grant.
Funding for book writing workshops is limited and may vary from year to year. The department determines the timing of the workshop. The deadline to submit application materials is November 1.
The purpose of a grant writing workshop is to bring together URM faculty who are working on a grant. We will sometimes invite grant writing professionals to speak to the group about several topics, such as different types of grants, the average amount of time needed to complete a grant application, and interpreting grant reviews and feedback.
The number of grant writing workshops will depend on faculty interest and availability. This three-hour workshop will be offered once a semester (limited to fall and spring semesters). The deadline to submit application materials and participate in the fall workshop is June 1. The deadline to submit application materials and participate in the spring workshop is October 1.
