This Week for Faculty: 3 things to know about applying for a Provost’s Teaching and Learning Grant
1. Support is available
The CTL is here to help you through the application process. From initial idea to proposal drafting, the CTL is available to consult with you on your teaching, course, or curricular innovations. Join us for the Assessment Tune-Up for Provost’s Grant Applicants on April 7, 12-1:15pm.
2. Lots of options
There are eight grant types to choose from. Learn more through the summary of funding opportunities. You can start small by applying for an Innovative Course Module Design which supports experimentation with a new pedagogical strategy or tool.
3. Go for it!
The deadline is May 2, so there is still plenty of time. Applications are up to five pages. Work on funded projects can begin in fall 2022 or summer 2022. Reach out to schedule a consultation today!
