Faculty Support

The Dickey Center is committed to enrich international understanding at Dartmouth. We welcome collaboration with departments, centers, and staff on globally-focused programs and initiatives, and will consider extending financial support for faculty projects related to classroom enrichment, research, and travel.

Application Timeline

Applications for support are due by week 9 of the term preceding the proposed activity. We’ll make and announce our funding decisions by week 10 of the preceding term. Applications outside of this cycle will be reviewed as we are able, and only funded if and as resources allow at our discretion.

Reporting Requirement

Grant recipients will be asked to submit a brief report (approximately 500 words) and at least one photo relevant to grant activities to be used in Dickey Center outreach and communications.

Course Enhancement

Funding is available to enhance existing courses that provide students with international perspectives and content. Support could be provided for e.g. guest speakers, films, and the acquisition of materials.

Proposals are evaluated based on the degree to which Dickey Center support enhances the international dimension of existing courses or adds to the international course offerings at Dartmouth. Our financial support is capped at $1,500 per application.

Manuscript Review

The Dickey Center’s Manuscript Review Program offers feedback to faculty preparing monographs or other major academic works for publication in internationally-focused fields.

• Eligibility: All Dartmouth faculty are eligible (except during the academic year in which they are up for tenure or promotion) with manuscripts that are near completion and can still benefit from peer review.
• Process: Manuscripts are distributed to Dartmouth faculty and two external reviewers, followed by a Manuscript Review Seminar. The Dickey Center covers all costs associated with the review.
• For works that fall outside of the Dickey Center’s focus areas of international, policy-relevant works, we are happy to help guide faculty to potential support elsewhere on campus.

Please contact melody.b.burkins@dartmouth.edu with any questions about this form and the application process.
