UNC SOM offers Staff Professional Development Grants for 2024

The UNC School of Medicine Staff Professional Development Grant is being offered to invest in the professional development of the school’s talented and dedicated staff. Requests will be reviewed by committee and grant awardees will be notified in February.

Who is eligible

Permanent, full or part-time SHRA or EHRA Non-Faculty UNC employees are eligible for this grant. Temporary employees (including Postdocs) and employees classified as faculty are not eligible for these grant funds.

What the grant covers

The grant covers professional education and training and can be used for credit and non-credit courses, conferences, certificate programs or similar instructional opportunities. In other words, it covers anything related to or contributing to professional skills of the individual employee and not already covered by other resources at the University. Specifically, the grant is designed for expenses incurred (including registration, materials, travel) that an employee’s department or other sources cannot cover. Memberships are only covered when the total cost of participation is less than the cost without membership.

Deadlines for 2024

  • Applications will be taken within the submission period (December 15, 2023 – January 12, 2024, 11:59pm) only.
  • Applicants may apply for funds for professional development activities that are completed by June 30, 2024. (e.g. a conference scheduled in July will not be eligible, even if some expenses are incurred before the deadline)
  • Applicants will be notified by February 9 on the status of their request.
  • All funds, if granted, must be spent between January 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024.
