Dear colleagues,

The Office of the Provost is now accepting applications to the Faculty Research Fund and the Innovations in Education Fund.

The Faculty Research Fund awards grants of up to $10,000 to support new research-based professional or creative projects to take place between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.

The Innovations in Education Fund awards grants of up to $10,000 to support proposals for innovative approaches to pedagogy. While these proposals may be speculative in nature, our hope is they could be prototyped at the university in the near future.

Both programs are open to full- and part-time faculty members (subject to eligibility criteria). For guidelines, eligibility criteria, a list of previous awardees, and the application form, go to:

THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS FOR FACULTY RESEARCH FUNDS IS JANUARY 24, 2011. If you have questions, contact Amy Minter at mintera@newschool.edu.

THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS FOR INNOVATIONS IN EDUCATION FUNDS IS FEBRUARY 18, 2012. If you have questions, contact Karen Hudson at hudsonk@newschool.edu.
