Re: Postponing the 2020-21 Non-Senate Faculty Professional Development Fund First Call for Proposals

Due to COVID-19 related concerns about conference and meeting restrictions, travel constraints, and other challenges presented by the pandemic, we are postponing the first call for proposals for the 2020-21 Non-Senate Faculty Professional Development Fund. We expect to distribute the call later in Spring 2020. Arrangements also will be made for those who received prior awards but were not able to use them because of travel restrictions or cancellations to postpone grant expenditures. Thank you for your understanding and patience during these unprecedented circumstances. We look forward to the moment when we can continue to support the professional development of our colleagues.
