Ad Hoc Grants

Dean of the Faculty/Vice President for Academic Affairs

Ad Hoc Funds Program

Faculty may apply to the Office of the DOF/VPAA for financial support via Ad Hoc Funds. These supplemental awards underwrite special scholarly, creative, or performance opportunities that fall outside the boundaries of programs administered by the Faculty Development Committee.; this may include opportunities that arise unexpectedly and therefore do not conform to the FDC's typical grant cycles. In general, however, priority will be given to requests for expenses not typically covered by FDC grants or other Skidmore funding opportunities. The application should explain how/why other sources of funding are not applicable.

If approved, faculty may receive full or partial funding, depending on the available budget and the nature of the request. If an Ad Hoc request is made for travel purposes, the special nature of the opportunity should be made clear; in most cases, faculty will be expected to use Travel to Read/Represent funding for conference attendance.

Those faculty members who have received an Ad Hoc grant in the prior year may not be eligible for a second award.

All financial documentation and itemized receipts for expenditures must be submitted by the end of the grant period via Oracle to the Office of the DOF/VPAA. (PLEASE NOTE: itemized receipts for all items $10 or over must be attached to expense reports. For example, your credit card bill and the receipt showing the total amount paid for restaurant charges are not considered adequate proof of purchase.) Please be sure to review Skidmore's Travel and Entertainment Policy.

In addition, recipients must submit a final online narrative report summarizing the accomplishments of the project.

The final expense report and final online narrative report must be submitted to the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and Vice President for Academic Affairs within 3 months of the end of the grant period. Failure to do so may result in advances being treated as taxable income and may disqualify the faculty member from future grant opportunities.
