WHAT IS SCHOOL OF EDUCATION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT?
SOE Research and Development Support is a supplemental source of funding to help cover the cost of eligible professional and leadership development experiences. Access to the pool of funds is limited to School of Education faculty, staff, and students who have exhausted all other available departmental and institutional funding. This funding program is a collaborative initiative and applications are considered by a committee made up of a cross-section of SOE representatives. Awardees are expected to submit a final product upon completion of the funded activity. For a sample list of final products, click here.
