Active research and creative and professional practice are essential to effective teaching and student mentoring. All full-time faculty are expected to engage in some type of research, creative and/or professional practice and part-time faculty are asked to be current in the fields in which they teach.
The Provost's Office provides support for faculty seeking grants and other funding as well as providing some internal funds as seed grants.

The New School Libraries and Archives is an excellent source of assistance for both faculty and student researchers. Librarians have created a series of research guides and video tutorials, offer a full schedule of workshops and are available for one-on-one consultations with faculty, staff and students or can present on a variety of topics in your classes.
The New School also provides collaborative research opportunities through the Graduate Institute for Design, Ethnography, and Social Thought (GIDEST). Funded by a grant from the Andrew J. Mellon Foundation and housed at the New School for Social Research, GIDEST incubates transdisciplinary ethnographic research at the intersection of social theory, art, and design and fosters dialogue on related themes across the university. GIDEST hosts a bi-weekly public seminar series and annually supports five faculty fellows, five doctoral fellows, and an artist-in-residence. The lab at 63 Fifth Avenue serves as a university-wide hub for collaborative research and innovative scholarly practice. The fellowship application is available here.
Faculty may also be interested in exploring this site, developed by Northern Illinois University, which offers online modules for self-paced development in research including Authorship; Collaborative Research; Data Management; Peer Review; and Research Mentoring.
In addition, the Research in Action weekly podcast series, hosted by Oregon State University, offers episodes such as creating a five year research plan, writing productivity, collaboration, and learning new research skills at mid career.
