Mellon Tri-Co Seed Grants Return, Deadline April 21, 2008

The Trico Forum Steering Committee invites applications for the another round of Trico Fellowships, seed grants sponsored by the Mellon Trico Forum.

These Fellowships support innovative faculty projects relating to teaching, curriculum, research, or service/governance. The grants are flexible as to the nature and scope of the initiatives funded. Projects might include faculty working groups, topical workshops or symposia, exchanges with other liberal arts colleges or universities, "outreach" activities, invited speakers, travel money for faculty training, etc. The Steering Committee particularly welcomes collaborative proposals that bring together faculty from the three colleges, as well as applications for initiatives that are hard to fund through conventional sources. Fellowship support includes up to $3,000 per project, to reimburse expenses appropriate to the nature of the proposal: such as travel, hosting events, small honoraria, materials and equipment, etc. Faculty who are eligible to apply include all those on long-term or ongoing appointments at Bryn Mawr, Haverford, or Swarthmore.

Interested faculty should submit a description of the proposed initiative, with a detailed budget by April 21, 2008 , to Joanne Kimpel (jkimpel1@swarthmore.edu); followed by a hard copy mailed to her in the:

Office of the Provost
Swarthmore College
500 College Avenue
Swarthmore, PA 19081

Please note that you should receive a confirmation of your submission.
