Description
This program provides Williams College faculty with modest supplemental financial support for essential research expenses that arise after all other departmental, program, or primary funding sources have been depleted. Typical uses include conference travel, publication fees, and other research-related costs that cannot be covered by standard faculty, departmental, or external grants. The Dean of Faculty reviews requests based on the need and availability of discretionary funds or suitable endowments, aiming to ensure faculty can continue their scholarly activities even when primary resources are exhausted.
