Teaching Enhancement Grants
The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) provides grants to full-time faculty interested in enhancing their teaching skills. The grants can be used for a variety of pedagogical purposes. Teaching materials/equipment/tablets purchased with grant funding reside in the faculty member’s department.
Proposals should not exceed 2 pages and must include the following information:
- Clear purpose of the grant;
- Positive impact that the grant will have on teaching (address specific pedagogy and exact courses affected);
- Positive impact that the grant will have on student learning outcomes in your course(s);
- A course syllabus if designing or redesigning a course;
- An explicit and realistic timeline normally running no later than December of the following year;
- A specific budget. Please submit appropriate documentation if attending a conference or purchasing materials; applications without budget documentation to substantiate expenses cannot be considered. Grants cover up to $1,800 - please explain how you will pay for additional expenses if your activity exceeds $1,800;
- Letter of support from Department Chair or College Dean.
Proposals will be reviewed by a faculty subcommittee of the CTE Advisory Group. Please note that grant funding cannot be used for the replacement of equipment funded by previous years' grants.
All applicants will be notified in December of the application year. Upon completion of the grant activity, successful applicants must submit a final report including expenses to Dr. David Marx, Associate Provost. Grant recipients will be asked to do a workshop on their project for the CTE in the future.
Please submit applications via email to:
