Support of faculty scholarly activity during the summer months. Scholarship is broadly defined to include disciplinary scholarship, the scholarship of application, interdisciplinary scholarship, and the scholarship of teaching. Examples of previous successful proposals are on file in the Center for Teaching and Learning.

"Scholarship of teaching" typically goes beyond course development and/or revision and has as its audience other faculty and professionals in the filed.

Occasionally, curriculum revision is proposed in the teaching scholarship category. In such a case, the proposal must convince the Faculty Development Committee that the project goes beyond those course development and revision activities that are normally expected of faculty as part of their workload.

- Clear statement of realistic goals and objectives
- Appropriate and detailed project method/plan for achieving the goals and objectives

- Detailed timeline and budget

Other Criteria. Additional criteria that may influence the Committee?s decision include:
- Use of language and terminology that are clear to non-experts
- Necessity for funding for project completion
- Please attach a curriculum vita.

FUNDING: Up to $2000 per grant. A maximum of 3-4 awards may be made per year.
Source: Grangaard Faculty Development Fund.
Funding decisions are made by the Faculty Development Committee. All funds must be requested by the end of the fiscal year in which the grant is awarded.

ELIGIBILITY: Faculty. At least 4/6 for at least two years prior to the beginning of the research; prorated for faculty who are less that 6/6. Limit: One grant during a 3-year period.
