The vast majority of funding for full-time faculty travel and research at JMU is handled through colleges and departments. If you are interested in funding, talk with your Academic Unit Head and/or Dean’s office about opportunities. Sometimes, funding is available at the end of the fiscal year (check around March). If your college has an Associate Dean for faculty development/support, contact them about funding.
