Spring 2024 Dean’s Competitive Fund (DCF) for Promising Scholarship

This fund is a targeted program that provides funding of up to $75,000 in the following categories:

1. Bridge funding, to allow faculty to continue work on previously funded research, scholarship, or creative activity that does not currently have external funding. Faculty who apply in this category should demonstrate that efforts have been made or will be made to obtain new external funding.

2. Seed funding, to encourage faculty to launch exciting new scholarship or research directions that might not yet be ready to compete in traditional funding programs.

3. Enabling subventions, to provide small funds to purchase (or upgrade) critical equipment. Applicants for such funds must have no existing startup funds on which they could draw for this purpose.

To submit an application and learn more about this opportunity, please visit the Dean’s Competitive Fund for Promising Scholarship website.

This program is open to FAS and SEAS assistant, associate, and tenured faculty; professors in residence and professors of the practice are also eligible.  Applications will be accepted through March 15, 2024.
