Faculty Network Events Fund
Research & Learn
In addition to the resources and publications made available on our website and the outreach and networking opportunities available to faculty through programming like our webinars and conferences, FIREis pleased to offer limited funding support to faculty interested in pursuing free expression-related programming at their own institutions through our Faculty Network Events Fund.
The small grants offered from the events fund, to a maximum of $500, may not cover the entire cost of programming, but can make it easier to fully realize a program鈥檚 funding goals in the absence of alternative sources (i.e., from departmental or other institutional funds) without making professors resort to paying out of their own pockets. Debates and lectures, film screenings, and book club events are just some of the programs FIREis happy to support.
Faculty Network members interested in applying for funding support from FIREshould fill out and submit the below form, giving us much information as they鈥檙e able about their planned event and its expected costs. Expenses FIREis willing to help cover include, but are not necessarily limited to:
- Room reservation and equipment (i.e., audio/video) rental fees
- Photocopying
- Refreshments
- Reading materials (i.e., copies of books)
- Transportation (excluding airfare)
- Fees and/or incidental expenses for invited speakers
Certain expenses are ineligible for reimbursement by 果冻传媒app官方:
