Connections Fund Application

CFCD Connections Fund Application

The Connections Fund Grants provide support for untenured, tenure-track faculty members and post-doctoral fellows to bring established scholars in their field to campus.
This fund is designed to advance the scholarly work of new faculty members and to increase familiarity in the campus scholarly community with the kind of research done by newer Smith faculty members.

Eligible junior faculty (untenured, tenure-track faculty and post-doctoral fellows) may apply for up to $2,500 in funding during the whole of their probationary period to invite established scholars working in their field to Smith for the purpose of a guest lecture, panel discussion, or other appropriate intellectual exchange. Please submit applications for funding at least one month prior to the proposed visit.

Please review the full grant guidelines in the Moneybook prior to submitting an application.
