FDF GUIDELINES & SCHEDULE
Application Form & Guidelines for 2011-2012: download PDF or WORD

General Guidelines include:
1.   Grants will be awarded on the basis of merit as determined by the Faculty Development Fund Committee appointed by the Academic Senate.
2.   All applications are considered competitively. The maximum award for any one proposal will be $3,500 for individual grants and $5000 per team for joint grants.
3.   The award will be distributed in two equal payments in May and June, 2012 and will be taxed at the same rate as regular Pratt salary. Receipts for expenditures are not required.
4.   Application for a grant does not automatically result in an award, and the request for a specific amount of support does not ensure that all of the support will be provided.
5.   Faculty must have completed three years of service including 2009-2010 to be eligible for an individual grant or primary applicant on a joint grant. However, faculty with only one year of service including 2009-2010 are eligible when applying as a secondary applicant on a joint grant - as long as the primary applicant has at least three years of service.
6.   Faculty members who have received an award as an individual or primary applicant from the faculty development fund in the past two academic years (2009-2010 or 2010-2011) will not be eligible for an individual award or award as primary applicant on a joint application in 2011-2012. They are, however, eligible to receive an award as a secondary applicant on a joint application.
6.   The President of the Academic Senate is deemed ineligible during his/her term in office plus one academic year after stepping down from this position.
