Professional Development Committee Funds for Faculty, Individual Students, and Chamber Groups
Deadlines for proposals to be submitted are Oct. 1, Nov. 1, Dec. 1, Feb. 1, Mar. 1, Apr. 1, May 1, and June 1. The committee will review these proposals following each deadline.
Should the PDC reach the limit of its funding before the end of the academic year, applications will be closed for the remainder of the academic year (through June 30).
Applications for opportunities occurring in the months of July, August, and September must be submitted by the June 1 deadline.
The Professional Development Committee (PDC) awards funds for professional opportunities. The application for PDC funds involves submission of a written proposal detailing both the opportunity and the associated costs, along with a written statement of support from the department chair (for faculty members) or from a faculty advisor (for students) submitting an application. No retroactive proposals will be accepted as outlined in the instructions.
All completed proposals should be emailed to the Office of Academic Affairs. If you have questions about the application and review process, please email academicaffairs@esm.rochester.edu.
