Eligibility
Full-time teaching faculty are eligible to apply. Projects involving staff and/or part-time
faculty will be considered only if the lead applicant is a full-time faculty member.
Funding
Funds can be used to cover released time*, pay student workers, and/or purchase supplies and services (such as CD pressing, video
production, digitizing, photography). Funds will generally not be available for activities consistent with normal college business,
capital equipment purchase or travel - though the latter will be considered if a clear connection to the project can be demonstrated.
*College guidelines for adjunct teaching pay schedules should be used when calculating released
time amounts.
