Funder: University of Notre Dame
Due Dates: May 31, 2027 (Rolling deadline ends; while funding remains available)
Funding Amounts: Up to $5,000; one grant per faculty member per academic year
Summary: Supports Notre Dame College of Arts and Letters faculty training that enhances scholarship and artistic or creative work.
Key Information: Applicants must hold a regular, full-time primary appointment in the College of Arts and Letters and submit their own applications.
The Faculty Training and Professional Development Grant is administered by Notre Dame’s Franco Family Institute for Liberal Arts and the Public Good. It supports workshops, courses, and language training that develop faculty members’ skills for scholarship and artistic or creative work. Proposed programs should be reputable and widely recognized, with a clear connection to the applicant’s current and future scholarship or creative practice.
Support covers training fees and travel expenses related to the proposed activity. Language study has a specific purpose: enabling learning that cannot be pursued on Notre Dame’s campus, rather than duplicating existing opportunities. Applicants must show that the language is not taught at Notre Dame or that they have exhausted the university’s learning opportunities for that language.
