With limited funds available and a goal to support as many faculty as possible the number of awards and the amount of each award will depend on the size of the applicant pool. All tenured and tenure-track faculty are eligible to apply for Dean Rusk travel grants. If the total funds requested in any given year exceed funds available, priority is given to Assistant Professors in tenure-track positions. Visiting faculty may also apply and will be considered if funds are available.
At the completion of the faculty member's travel, an accounting of expenses must be submitted along with receipts and a reflective essay to the Dean Rusk International Studies Program Staff.
Using Dean Rusk grants for her research, Prof. Brenda Flanagan wrote and published Women’s Artistic Dissent: Repelling Totalitarianism in pre-1989 Czechoslovakia, a book that dives into the work of women writers and artists who survived and resisted Totalitarianism in Czechoslovakia under Soviet rule.
