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 precise student learning outcomes;
  • Please submit a course syllabus if designing or redesigning a course;
  • An explicit and realistic timeline normally running no later than December 31, 2010;
  • A specific budget (please submit appropriate documentation if attending a conference or purchasing materials; applications without budget documentation to substantiate expenses cannot be considered);

Proposals will be reviewed by a faculty subcommittee of the CTLE 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 2009. Successful applicants will be asked to do a workshop on their project for the CTLE in the future.
