Our Programs
Retention Programming
We support the research, creative activity, and professional development of our tenure-track, non-tenure-track, and tenured faculty through mentoring opportunities with scholars at peer institutions. We also welcome applications for small grants to work with a mentor on research, creative activity or extramural funding opportunities.
Just in Time Research Grants
We provide seed funding for faculty and students projects that are poised to attract external funding or to test a novel idea.
Reclaiming Our Time Grants
We supported academics from diverse departments with research and archival work to make up time lost during the COVID19 pandemic.
Faculty Writing Circles
A network of UO community members use Writing Circles to help them complete manuscripts, creative work, grant proposals and more.
Graduate Student Writing Circles
Writing circles for graduate students support publication goals by helping them meet application deadlines for grants and fellowships. It also helps to broaden their academic community. Email for more information on this program.
Writing Consultations
We provide members of the UO community with focused, personalized feedback and guidance to complete writing projects. Our Writing Consultant empowers members of our community to become more confident and effective writers.
