The Academic Fellowship Program (AFP) Mobility Fund is designed to support visits between AFP partner departments or former AFP Resource Departments. Faculty members may use the mobility grant to consult with colleagues on issues of curriculum, teaching or research, such as developing a new course or revising an existing one. Goals of the visit should be well-defined, based on concrete outcomes, and align with the departmental development strategy.Recipients of the grant are encouraged to give a guest lecture or lead a discussion in their area of expertise while visiting the host university.
Application materials may be submitted any time until . but must be received at least two months prior to the proposed visit. The application and budget forms are available for download below. Proposals are evaluated on a rolling basis, and results are announced within 45 days of receipt of project proposal. Funding is limited, so partner departments are encouraged to apply as early as possible in the academic year to ensure availability.All faculty members (not only AFP Returning Fellows) at AFP partner departments are eligible to apply.An AFP partner department may qualify for up to three mobility grants per academic year, one of which must be awarded to an AFP Returning Fellow, and one of which should support a team visit.
