For Non-Tenure Track faculty at Kent State, the Winebrenner Non-Tenure Track Faculty Professional Development Excellence Award (NPDEA) is a competitive award for non-tenure track faculty professional development activities or projects. This can include attending conferences, workshops, trainings, research projects, and your proposals can request funding for things like travel expenses, conference/workshop fees, software, and equipment (to name a few). Full-time NTT faculty who have completed at least one full review are eligible to apply for funding.

Many University Libraries faculty have successfully applied for Winebrenner NPDEA award funding. Examples of professional development activities funded by NPDEA awards include:
