Thank you for submitting your application for the I-LED "Faculty Development Workshop." We plan to start sending confirmations and logistical information the week of June 20th or earlier. We hope to have the final OVW approval by then.

Please do not make any flight or other travel arrangements until you hear from us that OVW has approved the program and that you have been accepted as a participant. Also in the interim, please ensure that your OVW program manager has approved expenditures from your award to attend the workshop.

Note: If you attend the workshop as an individual rather than as part of a team from your organization (or related to your work), you will be assigned to a team for work during the workshop. The assigned team will need to select an agreed topic for which they conduct workshop activities to develop the beginnings of an education or training program. For this reason, we encourage participants to form their own teams that can focus on a topic of mutual interest.
