Call for Grant Proposals
Spring 2008
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Extended to March 24, 2008
The Instructional Development Council invites proposals for Teaching
Enhancement Grants. As part of the faculty development program at
UW-Green Bay, the Instructional Development Council has set aside
grant funds to provide monetary support for professional development
activities or projects that can lead to the improvement of teaching
skills. The
Instructional Development Council issues two calls for Teaching
Enhancement Grant proposals each year, one in the fall and one in
the spring. Funds must be expended before the end of the fiscal year
(i.e., by August 29, 2008).
Eligibility. All faculty, lecturers and teaching academic
staff with full-time contracts for the 2007-08 academic year are
eligible to submit proposals. Priority will be given to requests
submitted by individuals who have not received Teaching Enhancement
Grant funding within the last 12 months.
Amount of Grant. Up to $1,000 may be awarded, but funds must
be expended before June 30, 2008. Funds can be paid as a stipend,
to purchase supplies, or other related expenses. Funding can be requested for a second year, but the total amount awarded for a single
project (or related parts of the project) cannot exceed $1,000.
Purposes. The Teaching Enhancement Grants program is
designed to support professional development activities that will
enhance a faculty member's teaching skills or result in the
development of innovative teaching strategies. Examples of the
types of activities funded by this grant program include:
1. Developing materials or testing innovative teaching methods to
enhance student learning.
2. Developing learning activities and teaching strategies for
service learning projects.
3. Conducting workshops designed to enhance general teaching
effectiveness.
4. Participating in professional development activities, such as
workshops, seminars, or intensive short-courses designed to improve
teaching.
5. Testing innovative classroom assessment techniques.
6. Developing or implementing a course-based assessment strategy
with the aim of improving student learning.
7. Conducting research to advance a scholarly investigation related
to teaching.
Note: This program is not intended to provide funds to (1) attend
out-of-state conferences or meetings; (2) present research
results when the focus of the research is unrelated to teaching; (3)
pay for course field trips, guest lecturers, or special equipment;
or (4) activities that are more appropriately funded by budgetary units.
Submission Procedures. A copy of the
Cover Sheet (click
here) and
Itemized
Budget Form (click here) must be completed by the faculty
member(s), signed by the budgetary unit chair, and stapled at the
top of each copy of the proposal. Proposals should not exceed five
pages (double-spaced, 12-point type), including the Cover Sheet.
Proposals must include:
1. A completed
Cover Sheet
2. A completed
Itemized Budget Form
3. A project description
4. A description of the project's goals, including an explanation
of how the project relates to
teaching enhancement. Specific examples are required.
5 An implementation time line for the project
6 A conference or workshop brochure (i.e., official description of
the event) if the grant proposal includes an in-state travel
request.
Five (5) copies of each Teaching Enhancement Grant proposal,

to: Timothy Sewall, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, CL 835
