Guidelines

Funding Eligibility Criteria for Fall 2022 – Spring 2023
Faculty Development Grant requests are expected to be consistent with ATU’s mission and have a reasonable correlation to institutional goals, priorities, and constituencies. Funding is provided with the expectation that the developmental activity will increase the faculty members’ knowledge and/or expertise as it relates to faculty responsibilities and plan for professional growth.

Eligible Funding Items Items eligible for funding include:

• professional conferences for the purpose of staying current and/or leadership in a content area;
• professional conferences for the purpose of making a presentation or serving in a significant official capacity;
• professional development for specific knowledge and/or skill acquisition, including webinars and virtual conferences;
• professional organization memberships, consumable materials, and technology.

Faculty Eligibility and Funding
All full-time CEH faculty members, including visiting instructors, are eligible for funding. A maximum of $120 has been allocated to each faculty member.

Procedures for Submitting a Request
Requests for funding should be submitted via email to Sylvia Cooper (scooper@atu.edu). Requests should include the Faculty Development Grant Request form and supporting documentation. Please attach a completed Academic Affairs Travel Request form (https://www.atu.edu/academics/docs/academicaffairstravelrequest09.08.22.pdf) with your department head’s signature if you are traveling out-of-state. Once your request has been approved, Sylvia Cooper will submit a budget transfer request to transfer the funds to the appropriate departmental budget for use.

For webinars and in-state travel, requests must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of expenditure. For out-of-state travel, requests must be submitted at least one month in advance of expenditure. Under no circumstances will after-the-fact requests be honored.
