The purpose of the IANR Professional Development Fund is to support the professional development of IANR faculty and administrators so that they may effectively and creatively fulfill their responsibilities in teaching, research, extension, service or administration.

Policies:

1. IANR faculty above the rank of instructor, and IANR unit, division and Institute administrators (excluding adjunct appointments) are eligible to apply.

2. The Associate Vice Chancellor of IANR will oversee the administration of the fund through the unit administrators.

3. Nine hundred dollars ($900) is allocated for a three-year period for each full-time IANR faculty member. Amounts are prorated according to FTE for individuals less than full-time.

1. Individuals should review their plans with their unit administrator.
