Internal funding sources

Daemen College has internal funds available to faculty for travel and research:

The Faculty Research Fund provides resources for research by faculty in any discipline.

The Faculty Travel Committee handles applications from faculty for travel to scholarly
conferences. Funding is generally prioritized as follows: 1) paper or equivalent presentation, 2) organizing/chairing a session or poster presentation, and 3) chair/discussant. Travel costs are either partially or fully funded, depending on the nature of the presentation and overall number in the applicant pool.

For more information on these funds, contact the Faculty Senate President.
