Faculty Professional Development Council
FPDC Grants
The PASSHE Faculty Professional Development Council 2026-27 Request for Proposals is now available. Board of Governors’ Policy establishes the purpose of the grant program: “to encourage continuous attention to the professional growth and development of System faculty as teaching scholars.”
Awards of up to $12,000 will be made in six project categories:
- faculty research
- student-faculty research
- student-faculty public service
- creative activity
- innovation in teaching
- career enhancement
Each University may submit up to 21 proposals. Each university requires draft proposals to be submitted for internal review. Millersville’s internal deadline is 8:00am on Monday, November 23, 2026.
If you believe that you are interested in submitting to the 2026-27 FPDC grant cycle, because this is such a popular program among faculty and internal review is required, please notify OGSPR of your intention ASAP using this simple online form.
