Description
Tulane University’s Provost’s Office, in partnership with individual schools, provides tuition for faculty to participate in NCFDD’s Faculty Success Program. This 10-week online development program combines expert coaching and a structured peer community to help tenure-track and tenured faculty increase research and writing productivity, establish sustainable writing habits, and improve work–life balance.
Participants learn to align personal and professional goals with institutional priorities, create realistic plans, and manage time across teaching, service, research, and writing. The program also emphasizes developing a publication portfolio that exceeds institutional promotion criteria, identifying obstacles to progress, and prioritizing physical and emotional health. Weekly training, small-group coaching, productivity tracking, and peer accountability support these goals.
