Grant GuidelinesFor Kendall Center Grants
Eligibility:
- Faculty must be a current voting member of the faculty;
- Endowed Chairs are eligible only if they have exhausted their funds;
- Due to limited resources available and in order to support as many people as possible, Distinguished Endowed Chairs are not eligible;
- Administrators are not eligible for Kendall Center grants; faculty with partial administrative duties are eligible (e.g. Director of Undergraduate Research, FTS Director, etc.);
- In the event of limited funds, the Kendall Center will prioritize faculty who have not recently received a development grant and those who have an ongoing relationship to the college: tenure-track, tenured, and continuing appointment faculty; and
- Faculty with any outstanding reports from previous grants are not eligible.
