SBS Faculty and Staff Professional Development Grants
SBS Staff Professional Development Grant
These grants are open to all full-time staff within SBS and are intended to provide professional development opportunities not otherwise available through existing units. Opportunities may include conference attendance, trainings, webinars, bringing in outside speakers or trainers, and other forms of professional development. We anticipate at least ten grant recipients per year, of up to $1,000 each from SBS, to be matched 1:1 by departments, for a total maximum grant of $2,000 per person or group. Departments that provide staff with professional development funds can redeploy those funds towards the departmental match.

SBS Associate Professor Research Leave Grant
These grants are open to full-time tenure system SBS Associate Professors and are intended to promote the development and sustenance of research that will lead to promotion to Professor and continued scholarly achievement. Preference will be given to faculty who have been at the rank of Associate Professor for five or more years and those whose progress towards promotion has been constrained by significant service obligations. We anticipate up to two grants per year. Ideally, this grant will be attached to a one-semester sabbatical, effectively providing the recipient with a full year’s leave and limiting the service burden on the department. Each grant recipient will receive:
- Semester-long release from teaching, with departments compensated by the college
- Departmental and college service leave for one semester
- A research stipend up to $3500

SBS Non-Tenure System Faculty Professional Development Grant
These grants are open to full-time faculty outside the tenure system and are intended to recognize past achievements in teaching, advising, leadership, and service and provide opportunities to further enhance success in these areas. We anticipate at least eight grants per year, of up to $1,000 each from SBS, to be matched 1:1 by departments, for a total maximum grant of $2,000 per person. The grants can be used for conference attendance, curricular development, research related to teaching/advising, and other responsibilities related to the faculty member’s position.
