A message from Mark Kamlet, Carnegie
Mellon's Provost
 |

The Berkman Faculty Development Fund provides critical seed funding
for innovative faculty research projects from all across the university.
These grants allow our faculty to explore promising and dynamic
research. With these funds, faculty do vital preliminary explorations
that, if they are successful, will bring in many more resources
in future. Seed grants have been leveraged to bring in ten or twenty
or even thirty times as much as the original grant--a return on
investment that is truly remarkable. |
|
| In addition, the Berkman Faculty Development Fund
gives younger faculty members experience in writing proposals and
getting constructive feedback from senior colleagues. We are grateful
to the Berkman family for their continued support of this innovative
program, and their engagement in the mission of Carnegie Mellon. |
