The Office of Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) is offering a sponsorship for faculty to attend the NCFDD Summer 2024 Faculty Success Program May 20 – July 28, 2024.

The Faculty Success Program is a 12-week program for faculty of all ranks who are looking for the perfect combination of empirically-tested methods to improve research productivity through intense accountability, coaching, and peer support and to propel their work-life balance and personal growth to a whole new level. ODEI will provide 50% tuition to one faculty member from each school or college, and a 50% match is required from the faculty member’s school or college.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is a member of the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD) and offers access to mentoring tools and support to be successful in the academy. The NCFDD is a nationally recognized community, comprised of over 450 colleges and universities.

“Our goal for the university’s NCFDD membership has always been to see faculty members, postdocs and graduate students elevate their work and research by tapping into the unlimited resources available to them,” says Paulette Patterson Dilworth, Ph.D., UAB’s vice president for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

Applications for the 2024 Faculty Success Program grant are due on March 1, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Participants will be chosen through a competitive internal selection process and decisions will be announced by March 29, 2024.
