Professional Development Funds
Guidelines for use of professional development funds
- Registration fees and travel for conferences, workshops, or other professional meetings relevant to the faculty member’s scholarship or teaching
- Registration fees for continuing education courses required for obtaining and renewing licensure and credentials
- Membership dues to professional organizations relevant to the faculty member’s scholarship or teaching
- Costs of in-state travel for the purposes of scholarship such as field study, archival, and data collection
- Material costs relevant to the faculty member’s scholarship or teaching that are not readily available (books, journals, videos, microforms, laboratory and studio supplies, software, datasets, etc.) [NOTE: computer software, hardware, or peripherals – must follow the Technology Supply Policy]
- Editorial services/fees for article, journal or book submissions [NOTE: payments for services must be done through department P-card according to Business and Finance Purchasing Procedures - the independence of the provider must be established]
- Participation Support on Human Subjects Research Studies
- Costs of in-state travel for the purposes of scholarship such as field study, archival, and data collection
At the end of the year, the Provost Office will ask for a report on the use of professional development funds that will include information of any allocation of supplemental funding above the $900/faculty member. The reason for this is for all of us (including FSBC) to have a clear understanding of the differences in funding levels from department to department and college to college.
