    Faculty Writing Group Program

    The Faculty Writing Group (FWG) program provides mini-grants (up to $250) each academic year to selected groups of faculty and/or teaching staff who are setting up self-regulating structures to support productivity, such as regular meetings to discuss projects and progress, readings about publishing and writings skills, and group writing sessions. Faculty Writing Groups organize themselves to create self-supporting structures to foster scholarly productivity. Group members may 1) define their writing goals, 2) share personal strategies which have proven to be effective, and/or 3) read about effective writing and productivity strategies, and/or 4) share research and expertise. Each Group must determine their approach to support scholarly productivity. 

    FWG members will work together to set individual writing goals, build momentum in productivity, provide editing, and foster productive community. Ideally, Faculty Writing Groups will consist of at least six and no more than twelve faculty and/or teaching staff. 

    Each FWG will designate one individual to serve as the “leader” of the group. This person will submit a 2-5 page written report on or before May 1 summarizing the FWG’s work and the support it provided to its members’ scholarly productivity. Digital photographs of the FWG meetings are also welcome. 

    Faculty should recruit their own membership by networking and communicating within and across disciplines. 

    Support up to $250 will be provided for participants to purchase state-allowable items (which excludes cash payouts, food/drink, and food reimbursements).
