Description
The Dean of Faculty (DoF) Supplemental Funding at Williams College provides limited, discretionary financial support to non-visiting faculty—including tenured and assistant professors, lecturers, senior lecturers, and emeritus faculty—for scholarly research, creative projects, and professional development. This funding is intended to fill gaps when all other sources (departmental, programmatic, internal, and external grants) have been exhausted or committed. Eligible expenses include travel, lodging, conference fees, publication costs, software, and research materials. The goal is to enable faculty to advance their academic and creative work when traditional funding avenues are not accessible.
