The Lecturers' Professional Development Fund (LPDF) is a CRLT-sponsored grant specifically for U-M's Lecturers.  If you are a Lecturer on the Ann Arbor campus with a continuing appointment, you are eligible to apply for a grant of up to $2000 to fund professional development opportunities related to your teaching or scholarship.  For example, the funds could be used to support

• attendance at a professional meeting
• purchase of computer hardware or software
• travel expenses associated with accessing resources at other institutions
• subscriptions to professional journals
• editorial, graduate student, or work-study assistance.  

Applications for the grant are due on September 25th at 4pm.  Details about how to apply can be found on our LPDF application page [2]. Prospective applicants can also view the reports from previous LPDF recipients [3]to get a sense of the range of projects that have been funded in the past.  

Every year, CRLT provides over $300,000 to U-M's instructors to support improvements to teaching and curriculum.  For more information about the range of grants available from CRLT, click here [4].
