Curriculum Enhancement Grant

The Center for Teaching and Learning is now offering a new grant opportunity called the Curriculum Enhancement Grant (CEG). The purpose of the CEG is to provide faculty with support, time, and resources to implement projects designed to improve student learning and success at IUPUI and IUPU Columbus. In addition, it is expected that the grants will increase faculty competitiveness for external educational or curricular improvement grants and increase the number of faculty involved in pursuing the scholarship of teaching and learning.

The CEG program builds on the success of the CTL's Jump Start program by broadening support for many types of teaching innovation, including but not limited to online teaching which was the focus of Jump Start.

Example projects include but are not restricted to those that would:

• Enhance the effectiveness of courses through the use of technology.
• Enhance the effectiveness of courses through adapting pedagogies of engagement (e.g., just-in-time teaching, problem-based learning, peer-led team learning, peer tutoring).
• Incorporate experiential learning.
• Develop innovative curricular materials or laboratory experiences.
• Develop hybrid or fully online courses or sequence of hybrid or fully online courses.
• Develop a new course or sequence of courses.
  

Eligibility

• Open to all IUPUI and IUPU Columbus full-time faculty (tenured, tenure track, and non-tenure track).
• Associate (part-time/adjunct) faculty may be included on proposals but may not serve as the principal investigator.

The deadline for submission is 5:00 pm EST, Friday, January 15, 2010. Late submissions will be returned without review.
