Junior Faculty Travel Fund

We are not accepting applications at this time.

Important: Rowan Travel Procedures and Policies

ELIGIBILITY

Full-time junior faculty members (tenure track and non-tenure track) are eligible for this award. Junior faculty members are full-time probationary faculty members serving in the following capacities: pre-tenure tenure-track Faculty, and Lecturers in their first six years of service.

The Office of the Provost has provided funding for additional travel support for all full-time, probationary faculty to attend a conference, present a paper, conduct a workshop, perform, or exhibit works of art at a conference during the year. Proposals based on all forms of scholarship as defined in the university documents will be considered. Please see the "memorandum of agreement" on the Provost's website. Also, for non-tenure track faculty professional development travel is funded.

Because we typically see more Spring travel compared to Fall, the available funds AND application deadlines will differ!

Travel between July 1 - December 31 - TBD
Travel between Jaunary 1 - June 30 - TBD

One application per academic year after department/college and grant funds are depleted. Award amount: up to $1000.00 for pre-tenure Faculty/Instructors and up to $500.00 for Lecturers.

The funding will be awarded on a competitive basis, based on the impact of the presentation to develop any or all of the following:

the applicant’s professional growth;
the students’ learning outcomes;
the university’s mission and institutional priorities; and
the broader professional community.

FUNDING LEVELS

The junior faculty travel fund grants are intended to supplement, not supplant the travel funds provided by grants, colleges and departments. These funds must be used first. The grants will be awarded to qualified candidates in amounts up to $1000 for pre-tenure faculty and up to $500 for Lecturers. Faculty will receive the funds in accordance with university procedures.
