The Fund for Academic Excellence (FFAE) grant program is an initiative of Howard University’s Strategic Framework for Action (SFA). The primary goal of the FFAE is to promote and foster continued excellence in the University’s academic programs and activities. In addition, the FFAE grant program supports the goal, which is articulated in SFA II, of increasing faculty success in the pursuit of external support for research and related scholarly activities. The program is open to all full-time faculty members. All proposals submitted for consideration must have the ultimate objective of improving teaching and student learning outcomes at Howard University. This objective can be accomplished through projects that are designed to strengthen and enhance instruction, curricula, scholarly expertise, performance and creative expression, student research capability and academic management. Faculty members may apply for proposal funding in either of two major categories—Category A: Educational Projects and Travel or Category B: Entrepreneurial Education Projects and Travel. The financial resources dedicated to the FFAE program are intended to supplement, rather than replace, current Department/School/College funds for travel and special academic initiatives.
