National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD) Faculty Success Program

Faculty Career Development and the Provost's Office co-sponsor a limited number of scholarships for the NCFDD Faculty Success Program, an online, 12-week intensive mentoring program. The Faculty Success Program is a “boot camp” designed to improve research productivity and work-life balance. The 2024 program runs from May 20 to July 28. 

The Faculty Success Program is for tenure-track or tenured faculty (assistant or associate professor rank) who are looking for a combination of empirically-tested methods to improve research productivity, with coaching and peer support to propel personal growth to a whole new level. The scholarship –will support 50% of the program fee. The applicant must have the support of their academic unit for the remaining 50% of the program tuition. Also, since RIT is an institutional member of the NCFDD, their website and webinar service is free for RIT faculty, post docs and graduate students.
