RDFP is an eight-month program designed to provide full-time UNL faculty at the assistant-level rank with the information and resources necessary to position themselves for success in securing external funding. Fellows graduate from the program with an intentional plan for pursuing external funding and gain practical experience to effectively communicate their research, scholarship and creative activity to potential funders and other audiences. More than 260 fellows from across all UNL colleges have completed the program to date.
This year’s program launched in mid-October and will conclude in early May 2024. Applications for the 2024-2025 cohort will be solicited in fall 2024.
