CALLS TO ACTION: Build and Share Your Scholarship in the Coming Academic Year
Find out more about all things NLU scholarship at the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE). See the CTLE resource page here and click on the Research and Scholarship button.
Apply for an internal research grant. Requests for proposals for the Seed Grant and the SoTL Fellowships will be released in the Winter quarter. Learn more here. Apply for supplemental funding to support sharing your thought leadership work. The Provost Office offers supplemental funding to faculty’s professional development allowance to support faculty presenting at conferences or other dissemination activities that elevate both individual scholarship and NLU’s research reputation. For information or questions, reach out to your Dean/college leadership, who will work with you and submit your request to the Provost Office. For the 2025-26 academic year, the timelines for submitting requests are: • All supplement funding requests received by the Provost Office by Friday, October 3 will receive a response by Friday, October 17. • All requests received by the Provost Office between October 4 and October 31 will receive a response by November 14. • All requests received by the Provost Office between November 1 and November 28 will receive a response by December 12. • All requests received by the Provost Office between November 29 and December 26 will receive a response by January 16. • In recognition of that fact that some faculty thought leadership dissemination opportunities are not confirmed until later in the academic year, the Provost Office will hold a portion of funding pool to be awarded during the Winter and Spring terms. Winter and Spring term timelines for submissions and decisions/responses will be communicated in early 2026.
