Invitation to Submit Instructional Development Grant Proposals, 2010-11
ETSU’s Instructional Development Committee (IDC) invites Instructional Development Grant proposals for FY 2010-11
The deadline for submitting applications is Tuesday, April 20, 2010.
This is the only funding cycle for FY 2010-11.
Instructional Development Grants provide up to $5,000 for special projects in which faculty implement and assess innovative methods to enhance student learning at ETSU. The committee weighs teaching innovations more highly than
requests for equipment. Selection criteria are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Clear rationale for project, including a well-defined set of objectives
Originality and creativity of the proposal
Number of students who would benefit from the project
Applicability of project to courses or departments beyond those in which the project will occur
Clearly defined protocol for assessing outcomes of the project
Feasible calendar for implementing and assessing the project, including specific target date for completion
The IDC looks favorably on proposals receiving partial funding from the academic department, college or school.
Please note:
•
•
•
•
•
All full-time, permanent ETSU faculty are eligible to
receive Instructional Development Grants.
The IDC does not award grants to the same individual in two consecutive years.
All funds awarded must be spent within the specified fiscal year and cannot be carried over to the
next fiscal year.
The IDC does not fund computer monitors, CPUs or
printers.
The IDC considers faculty stipends a low priority.
•
•
•
If the proposal requests equipment already available
on campus (e.g., a video camera that could be checked
out from the library), it should explain why buying
additional equipment is necessary.
Items purchased with Instructional Development
funds become the property of the department when
the project terminates.
Award recipients must submit final reports to the
Office of the Provost by Friday, September 30, 2011.
Failure to submit the report will result in ineligibility
to receive subsequent Instructional Development
Grants.
To submit a proposal:
Download the attached form to your computer and save a copy for your use.
Send the completed application via email attachment to Donna Miller in the Office of the Provost
(millerdm@etsu.edu).
Also attach to the email a letter from your department chair endorsing the project and indicating funding by the
department, college or school.
If the IDC recommends your proposal for funding, your department chair and dean must sign off on the project before
funding will be finalized.
