2026 Faculty Success Program, offered by NCFDD.
CFE is pleased to offer sponsorship and funding for selected members of the regular faculty (tenured, tenure-track, or rank renewable term) to participate in this rewarding program. Past faculty who have participated overwhelmingly say it is a valuable and worthwhile experience. Application deadline extended to Wednesday, May 6th. CFE will provide funding for faculty members to participate in Fall 2026 (~$4500 each for NCFDD tuition).
Applications will be evaluated based on potential impact of the NCFDD Faculty Success Program on the faculty member and OU’s strategic goals, including increased faculty retention and achieving AAU publication and funding benchmarks. This includes an assessment of the likely effectiveness of the program within the context of the faculty member’s career stage and experience at OU (or in a previous faculty role). Selected fellows will submit a report in Spring 2027 summarizing the impact of the NCFDD Faculty Success Program on their professional growth and scholarship goals, practices, and outcomes.
Applicants should submit their c.v. and a 1-2 page letter of interest describing:
Please email your application materials to cfe@ou.edu by the new Wednesday, May 6th deadline.
