Deadlines

Please note that R&D has structured the deadlines to provide: (1) fairness, (2) clarity, and (3) time to consult other college committees if necessary. Exceptions to these deadline dates may be made by a majority vote of R&D and the agreement of the Provost. A strong case describing the reason for late submission must be included in your proposal. New applications will not be considered if you have past due narrative reports. 

Applications for some types of support are reviewed and approved on a rolling basis as they are received throughout the year: 1. Support for travel to present at conferences - please apply in advance of the trip, and applications must be submitted no less than one month before the scheduled trip.  2. Publication and dissertation costs  3. Sabbatical expenses after the sabbatical project receives approval.  4. Professional Development 5.  Kenderdine student travel grants- please apply in advance of the trip.
