Overview
The Graduate School's Future Faculty and Academic Careers program is committed to supporting Cornell graduate students and postdocs who are interested in pursuing outside training in evidence-based teaching (up to $500) or presenting their Teaching as Research projects beyond Cornell through a conference talk, poster or other presentation (up to $1000).
For those who have completed Teaching as Research projects, an additional opportunity is available to apply for a fully-funded 2-3 day visit to another CIRTL institution to discuss research and teaching, as part of the CIRTL Network Exchange Program, or to request funding to defray costs of publishing your research on teaching and learning in a peer-reviewed and open-access journal.
