Library Faculty Committees

Faculty Development Allocations Committee (FDAC)

The Faculty Development Allocations Committee oversees use of annual individual allocations to support research and/or service activities and makes recommendations to the University Librarian on requests for funds set aside solely for research. The Library's Director of Business and Financial Operations manages review of requests for and disbursement of the individual annual allocations provided to each faculty member. Allocation of research funds and granting of leave time are approved by the University Librarian or designate. Individual allocations shall be dispersed in support of research and service activities in order to promote the development of individual faculty members and to advance the overall performance of the library faculty in these areas. Research Project Fund Awards can go to multiple people or an individual for research project needs. During the fiscal year, the FDAC Committee will post announcements about when faculty can apply for these funds.
