Faculty Development Fund
A small “faculty development fund” to enable
faculty to attend conferences or workshops in new, interdisciplinary fields
and to provide seed money to embark on projects in new or high-risk areas.
Examples of funded projects have included:
·
Participation in a Cold Spring Harbor workshop for bioinformatics
·
Seed money for a laboratory to implement new molecular techniques
into ongoing ecological-evolutionary projects
·
Summer salary to engage in mathematical biology research
·
Residency at the Santa Fe Institute to introduce dynamical
systems/network theory into the undergraduate curriculum
The application typically consists of a
written proposal (~5 pages) describing
the nature of the project and how this funding
will impact undergraduate
teaching and research.
For further
information, contact the Program Director,
Margaret Saha (mssaha@wm.edu).
