The Faculty Excellence Initiative - Professional Development Travel Grant Program

Professional Development Travel Grant Program

The Professional Development Travel Grant Program is funded by the Office of the Provost through the Faculty Excellence Initiative Committee (FEIC).

Eligibility

• All tenured, tenure-line, non tenure-track, and staff members with formal teaching responsibilities at Illinois State University are eligible to apply.
• Travel may be to professional conferences, workshops/institutes, other institutions, etc.
• A primary purpose of the travel must be to enhance your professional development with regard to teaching, scholarship/research, and/or service (e.g., attend an institute to learn new statistical skills, attend a professional grant writing workshop, attend a teaching conference, travel to work on disciplinary or teaching research with a colleague who can assist you with new expertise).
• All proposals must clearly articulate a professional development component and one or more concrete outcomes (e.g., learn a new research methodology or pedagogical technique and share with colleagues).
