Request for Proposals
Institutional Projects “Going Systemwide”


The Undergraduate Teaching and Learning Grants (UTLG) for 2008-09, Institutional Projects “Going Systemwide,” will be used to bring to the System level successful examples of campus initiatives that foster teaching and learning.  The grant is designed to expand the scope of programs that have moved institutions forward with important new strategies for enhancing teaching and focusing on student learning in order to make those programs available across the UW System.  The goals for this grant are as follows: 

  • To make campus-based projects with proven success easily accessible for System-wide implementation;

  • To disseminate good ideas, share best practices, and to build on and sustain projects with demonstrated success;

  • To build inter-institutional communities of practice around teaching and learning issues;

  •  To respond to emerging priorities across the UW System; and

  • To continue OPID’s goal of developing a distributed leadership network of faculty development across the UW System.

Grant funding is available for up to $40,000 per project.  There are no specific categories but projects MUST build from demonstrably successful programs that are either currently in existence or have had recent success (e.g. there may be examples of effective programs ended because they had only one year of funding). 

 For additional information and all necessary forms go to: http://www.uwsa.edu/opid/index.htm

 Although the System deadline is April 15, all completed proposals must arrive in the Provost Office, c/o Tim Sewall, by Monday, March 31, 2008.
