Academic Affairs is pleased to announce a request for proposals for the E. O. Smith Arts and Humanities Faculty Development Fund. These competitive, peer-reviewed awards of $2,000–$7,000 are allocated to support opportunities for the professional development of full-time faculty members in departments included in the disciplines encompassed in the arts and the humanities. Eligible candidates for this award must be full-time faculty members at Buffalo State College and be members of departments included in the humanities (art history, English, history, literature, modern and classical languages, museum studies, philosophy, religious studies) or the arts (art, art conservation, art education, dance, design, fine art, music, theater).

All candidates will be required to submit a proposal to the selection committee detailing how they would use the award and include a budget detailing how the award would be used. Funds may be used only for expenses directly related to professional development, including research, supplies used in research, and publication of research, travel, or other similar professional activities. Funds may not be directed toward internal administrative or social functions or for personal use. Projects consistent with the mission and goals of the Monroe Fordham Regional History Center will be given preference.

Information about the fund and application process is posted on Blackboard. Complete applications are due Thursday, November 10.
