Eligibility & Funding Available

Tenure-track faculty and teaching faculty may request small discretionary grants (maximum $750) to support opportunities such as visiting speakers, workshops, and conferences. We seek to support a variety of departments and events across the academic year through co-sponsorships. At least two units or departments must be involved to propose an event. Applicants for co-sponsorship are eligible to request hosting on the Simpson Center’s YouTube.

Please note: Co-sponsorship funding supplements the support of the lead unit, which is expected to administer funding and the event. The Simpson Center can promote the event through our calendar and website but does not assume additional organizational responsibilities for co-sponsored events.

Scheduling note: The Simpson Center does not co-sponsor events that conflict with other events we are supporting.

YouTube Hosting: The Simpson Center may have further questions regarding plans and will evaluate YouTube hosting requests on the basis of cost (including time and availability of Simpson Center staff) and on the merits of broadly distributing the event recording through a public platform such as YouTube.
