Title III
Title III Programs
There are three Title III projects that encourage faculty and staff development, including a Train-The-Trainer project, which supports travel to professional conferences and events for faculty, a tuition application for faculty or staff who are completing terminal degrees, and special professional development funding for members of the LUMNEA collective bargaining unit.
Train-the-Trainer Travel Program (Faculty)
This project funds faculty travel to conferences and professional development events, with a requirement to share the learning upon their return with other faculty, staff and students.
Faculty can apply by submitting the Train-the-Trainer Application to titleiii@lincolnu.edu at least 30 days prior to the departure date.
- Candidate must be a faculty member at LU.
- Candidate must have been in their current position for at least six months.
- This conference or training applies directly to the candidate’s duties at LU.
- Funding for this program is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Applications must be fully completed, submitted and received by the Title III office at least 30 days prior to departure.
- Each faculty member may only apply to attend one event per federal fiscal year (October 1 through September 30)
- This program only allows travel within the continental USA (excluding Hawaii).
- International travel is not allowed.
- The maximum amount allowable for in-state travel is $2,000, and out-of-state travel is $3,000. All other costs must be absorbed by either the individual or the department.
- Travel cannot be booked through 3rd party vendors (such as Expedia, Priceline or VRBO).
- No reimbursements will be made to the individual until all travel-related charges are reconciled after travel and all necessary receipts are provided. Reimbursements may take up to 4 weeks.
- Candidate should understand that the goal of this program is to send faculty out to learn specialized information at a conference or training, and then return to LU to share that knowledge by training other faculty, staff, and students.
- Candidate should understand that upon their return, they are required to present a live training, or live webinar, to at least 4 or more faculty, staff, or students, to share what has been learned, within the next 45 days.
- Failure to comply with this requirement will lead to exclusion from participation in the next federal fiscal year.
- Candidate should understand that they will be required to submit the following documentation for this training (sample documents will be provided upon your return from travel):
- A detailed agenda
- An attendance sheet listing the names of LU faculty, staff, and/or students who attended.
- Completed attendee evaluations, scoring the quality of the content and presentation
Faculty Professional Development Project
This project provides up to $300 of funding per federal fiscal year (Oct 1- Sept 30) towards professional development costs for faculty who are members of the LUMNEA collective bargaining unit. Examples of allowable costs include: journal subscriptions, professional memberships, conference attendance, webinars, and professional development experiences.
To apply, complete the Faculty Professional Development Funds Request form for the current fiscal year and submit to titleiii@lincolnu.edu with any necessary documentation or receipts.
