Funding support for conferences and symposia organized by faculty in the Art & Sciences.
Gifted by Fannie and Alan Leslie, the Dartmouth Conferences provide funding support to promote issues of broad academic, social, and cultural relevance that bring leading experts to Hanover to explore topics of vital interest.
The Conant 1879 Memorial Lectureship and the Robert 1931 and Ruth Fraser Fund provide support to smaller conferences, lectures, or other academic endeavors that raise academic interests and profiles of Dartmouth’s departments and programs.
All members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
A call for proposals will be distributed every other year for a conference the following year or two years out. Plan for a memo beginning fall of 23-24 then every other year thereafter. If funding is possible, an off cycle call for proposals may occur.

Dartmouth Conferences may be funded for up to $75,000 in a given year.
Conant 1879 Memorial Lectureship and the Robert 1931 and Ruth Fraser Funds may be funded for up to $35,000 in a given academic year.
