Faculty Support

The Dickey Center is committed to partnering with faculty to enrich international understanding at Dartmouth. We welcome collaboration with departments and centers on globally-focused programs and initiatives and will extend 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 Development & Enhancement

Funding is available to develop new courses or enhance existing ones that provide students with international perspectives and content. Support is provided for guest speakers, films, the acquisition of materials, and other enhancements.

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.

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.

Conference Travel & Research Support

The Dickey Center supports faculty in advancing international understanding at the College through:

• International Research Travel: Grants of up to $3500 are available to support travel to access scholarly resources and/or engage with international research partners. Review criteria include:
  • • The quality of the proposal
    • Alignment of scholarship with the Dickey Center’s mandate of furthering international understanding at the College
    • The likelihood that research will lead to a policy-relevant publication and/or public outreach
    • Evidence of additional support from the home department, Dean of Faculty, or other resources
• International Conference Travel: Grants of up to $600 are available to support faculty traveling internationally to present scholarship at international conferences.

Please Note: Only one grant per faculty member is allowed within 12 months of previous funding.
