Event Details

Please join us for a discussion on “Writing Effective Wallace Proposals." The Wallace Scholarly Activities Program at Macalester is a competitive, intramural funding source to support faculty scholarship and scholarship-related travel. Award decisions are made by the faculty members (from a broad range of disciplines) of the Strategic Planning and Analysis (SPA) committee and the awards are administered through the Jan Serie Center for Scholarship and Teaching. You are invited to join a discussion/workshop about what makes an effective Wallace proposal. What kinds of activities are likely to be funded? What kinds of travel-associated costs, equipment purchases, student assistantship might Wallace funds support? What makes a funding request persuasive to an interdisciplinary jury? Discussion leaders include Devavani Chatterjea (Biology and Serie Center and former chair of SPA), Michelle Epp (Grants, Foundations and Corporate Relations), and Christie Manning (Environmental Studies and Psychology).
