Supporting faculty with flexible funding
Grants can be used for a wide range of purposes:
- reinvigorating a course you’ve taught previously;
- book/media purchases or archival expenses necessary for course development;
- attending a pedagogical conference, workshop, or institute;
- integrating a major extra-disciplinary element into a course;
- integrating a significant off-campus component into a course;
- integrating a new technology into a course;
- a course-related partnership with a faculty member at another institution.
Modest grants—major innovations
TLI grants are relatively small (up to $500 each), yet experience has shown that this level of support is more than enough to jumpstart new faculty initiatives and empower faculty as teachers.
