- Developmental editing to help faculty resolve conflicting feedback, refine their thesis, work through writing blocks, or restructure writing; professional copy editing for a manuscript or professional indexing for a book; or academic coaching for a specific goal, such as project planning and productivity for an already planned research leave
- Funding to facilitate travel to meetings with grant program officers or scholarly/creative collaborators
- Training for communicating research, such as presentation skills or public speaking, to support the release of a new publication
