The Academic Senate seeks proposals to support academic initiatives such as events, exhibits, conferences, performances, publications, symposia, workshops, and other projects, which are open to the Pratt community. (Support for individual and collaborative research, scholarship, and professional development is available through the Faculty Development Fund. AIF does not support activities for courses, unless those activities are open to the Pratt community.)

Priority will be given to initiatives that are interdisciplinary in nature and to schools, programs, and areas of interest that have not received support during the current fiscal year and in past years. Events that are part of a series should be packaged into a single application, or the intent to apply at a later point should be stated clearly in the first application.

This opportunity is open to all Senate constituents (full-time and part-time faculty; chairs, assistant chairs, and equivalent titles; staff who teach), and may support initiatives, in whole or in part.

For further information, types of funding, timelines, and application details please visit the Academic Initiatives Fund page on the Pratt Senate website here.
