The J. Douglas Brown Dean's Fund, developed as part of A Campaign for Princeton, is the result of a number of very generous gifts to help faculty who would benefit from unusual, one-time grants when unexpected opportunities or situations arise. For example, faculty members might benefit enormously from assistance with special travel or other expenses in connection with scholarly activities, conferences, or special events such as the awarding of honors. Additionally, the fund might be used to support a faculty member's appointment to high office in a national scholarly association, or to pay for unusual medical, educational or relocation expenses.
