[ Advocational or Creative Pursuit]

we are looking for people who want to stretch beyond the expectations of their ordinary lives. We do not support projects that directly relate to or enhance an applicant's career. For example, a history professor would be turned down for a proposal in which she seeks to do research in her own field, but would likely be encouraged if she proposed to pursue her long-standing interest in calligraphy. The exception to this is for non-faculty applicants in artistic or creative fields.
