Holy Cross is dedicated to supporting the research and professional development of our excellent liberal arts faculty as teacher-scholars at every stage of their career.
Available Resources
- Research & Professional Development - All tenured and tenure-track faculty have a permanent research and professional development account (an “RPD” account) into which the College will make an annual deposit of $3,000 to support eligible expenses.
- The Provost’s Supplemental Research Fund - The Provost’s Supplemental Research Fund is administered by the Dean of Faculty Development to provide tenured and tenure-track faculty with additional support for research and professional development beyond the base RPD allocation. Non tenure-track, emeriti, and visiting faculty, as well as administrators with faculty status in the division of academic affairs, are also eligible for support from this fund.
- Committee on Faculty Scholarship - The Committee on Faculty Scholarship conducts peer reviews of faculty proposals for larger research grants (e.g. budgets larger than $3,000), as well as faculty fellowships and other research awards.
For application details and deadlines, please see the "Faculty Development Resources" section of the Provost's Office site on Ignite, the College intranet.
