Faculty Conference Travel Support Program
The
faculty conference travel support program is available to all faculty
in the College of Education. The purpose of these awards is to help
defray the costs of traveling to a professional conference in order to
present a paper or participate in another professional capacity. Two
categories of faculty may apply: (1) Junior Faculty, i.e., tenure-track
assistant professors, tenure-track associate professors who are not yet
tenured, and clinical assistant professors with less than six years of
service; and (2) Senior Faculty, i.e., tenured faculty or clinical
faculty with six or more years of service. Preference will be given to
junior faculty and to those who do not have other available travel
funds. In most cases, these travel awards will not exceed $350,
depending on availability of funds. Note: only one request will be
accepted for this travel funding per faculty member per fiscal year.
Dean's Strategic Faculty Travel Support Program
The
COE Dean's Strategic Faculty Travel Support Program is intended to
provide support for faculty travel related to strategic discovery,
learning, and/or engagement initiatives of the College of Education that
will result in future benefits to the College of Education. Appropriate
uses of these funds might include, but are not limited to, travel to
meet with a program officer to discuss a grant idea, meet with
colleagues at another institution to work on collaborative research or a
proposal, attend special professional meetings other than conferences,
etc. These
awards are not designed to support faculty travel to
present papers at conferences. All College of Education voting faculty
members are eligible to apply. In most cases, awards will not exceed
$500.
Prior to applying for these funds, please consult with your
department head about your plans and determine what support, if any,
your department can provide. Complete and submit an application form via Qualtrics.
Professional Development Support Program

Professional Development Support Program provides funds for faculty
members to participate in professional development experiences (e.g.,
workshops, seminars) that will enhance their abilities to pursue
external funding, improve their scholarship, or develop professionally
in other ways that will ultimately benefit the college and university.
Typically, these awards will pay some or all of the registration costs
for professional development workshops or seminars related to
grant-writing, scholarly writing, or other relevant topics. In most
cases, awards will not exceed $500.
Prior to applying for these funds, please consult with your
department head about your plans and determine what support, if any,
your department can provide. Complete and submit an application form via Qualtrics.
Automated Transcription Support Program
[NO MORE CREDITS AVAILABLE FOR 2019-2020]
Faculty and graduate students may request up to 3 hours of automated transcription of audio recording for research purposes. Additional hours may be requested subsequently based on remaining available hours. Nvivo Transcription provides automated transcription using voice-to-text technology. With good quality audio, you can expect up to 90% accuracy and a file transcribed in a time span of half the length of the audio. You can then make corrections and tag speakers using a specialized editor before downloading the time-stamped transcript. Nvivo Transcription uses a simple web-based interface. Use of Nvivo software is not required to use the transcription service. See the application form for guidelines to determine whether your audio recordings are suitable for automated transcriptions.
Dean's Fellow Program
The
COE Dean's Fellow Program provides support for up to two tenured
faculty members in the college who have an interest in exploring
leadership opportunities and university administration. Individuals
chosen as fellows will be selected to work on a specific project that
advances the goals of the College of Education strategic plan. The
program provides the opportunity for participating faculty members to
gain a general overview of administrative processes in the college,
participate in discussions with college-level administrators, and make a
contribution in an area of particular interest and expertise. Selected
faculty members will receive a course release for one or two semesters,
depending upon the proposed project.
- Application information -
Nominations are solicited by the dean's office in spring for the
following fall or spring. Interested faculty should submit a short
proposal of 2-3 pages related to a priority area of the COE strategic
plan.
Faculty Grant Incentive Program
As
an incentive to faculty members to secure external funding, the university returns a portion of its Research Incentive Fund (generated through recovery of F&A dollars) to the college, and the college returns 25% of any dollars generated back to the researcher. In addition, a portion of any salary savings generated through
external funding (i.e., when general fund salaries and wages are replaced by support from an external source), 10% of the salary savings are
returned to the faculty member's incentive account. These funds, within
the parameters set by university policy, may be used at the faculty
member's discretion to support professional travel, purchase of
equipment, materials and supplies, and other legitimate professional
expenses. As with any use of university funds, equipment and materials
purchased are the property of Purdue University. No application form is
necessary to receive these funds; transfers will be made automatically by the COE Business Office each year.
Launch the Future Incentive Grant Program
The Launch the Future Incentive Grant program supports initiatives designed to foster the development of human
potential through discovery, learning, and engagement and
prioritizes initiatives which are focused on the grand challenges of STEM
education and diversity and social justice. The awards support incubator
projects, funded at up to $15,500, to accelerate progress toward
strategic goals. The intent of the program is to support faculty
and staff in working toward large-scale, collaborative,
interdisciplinary projects that support the strategic aims of the
college. Proposed projects must have the following characteristics:
clear linkages to STEM education and/or social justice, collaborative
and interdisciplinary, innovative and boundary breaking, impactful -

PRF
Research Grants are one-year awards made by the Office of the Executive Vice
President for Research and Partnerships (EVPRP) to assist faculty who supervise Ph.D. research in
the development of new or the continuation of ongoing research projects
by providing support for a half-time (0.50 FTE) PRF Research
Assistantship. Available PRF Research Grants are allocated on an annual
basis to Purdue University Schools/Colleges that administer graduate
programs granting the Ph.D. degree. Research, tenured, and tenure-track faculty members who
supervise Ph.D. research are eligible to apply for a PRF Research Grant.
A faculty member may not have two PRF Research Grants active
simultaneously.
In the College of Education, most PRF Year-Long
Research Grants are allocated through a competitive application and
review process. The call for applications is usually issued in late fall
or early spring. Proposals consist of a cover page, 100-200 word
abstract, 5-page narrative, references, and ancillary information
including timeline, role of the graduate assistant, discussion of
sustainability, and discussion of prior PRF support. Applications
undergo a peer review process, and the most highly rated proposals are
recommended for funding. Awards typically have a June 1 to May 31
project period, although the researcher may request a delayed start from
the Office of the Executive Vice
President for Research and Partnerships. A PRF Research Grant may
be used to provide half-time support to any doctoral student in good
standing. If the research involves human subjects, the researcher must
obtain approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to
activation of funding.

Kinley Trust
The
Kinley Trust funds research relating to human welfare. The competition
is exclusive to the West Lafayette campus and is limited to faculty
principal investigators (PIs). This endowment was established to fund
research which uses a social science perspective to explore methods for
improving the human condition. The selection committee generally
recommends funding individual projects with a maximum budget of $20,000.
Projects are selected which use a social science perspective to explore
methods for improving the human condition. Successful proposals stand
alone as independent projects (not a dependent component of a larger
program), are grounded in theory, have a clear relationship to the
literature, and fully describe the methodology.
A request for
nominations is solicited from each academic dean. The call for
pre-proposals will come from the dean's office, typically early in the
fall. As an initial step, interested Education researchers should submit
a one-page pre-proposal to the office of the Associate Dean for
Research by the deadline in October. Internal pre-proposals will be
ranked and forwarded to the university selection committee which will
request full proposals in December. Individuals asked to submit full
proposals have until the latter part of January to submit them. The
university review committee will select the winners.
