Successful projects must meet two primary goals. First, this is a program-level grant. As such, the grant can only be awarded to a department\/program or to a cross-disciplinary collaboration. The grant is not awarded to individuals or for course-level work. Second, the grant is for a teaching innovation. Even though the innovation might be deployed at the course-level, it\u2013 and not the course \u2013 should be at the center of your project. The ideal project would be transferable across programs and to a broader segment of the institution.<\/p>\n<p>Projects focused primarily on the development of a single course by a single professor are ineligible for this grant.<\/p>\n<h2>Eligibility<\/h2>\n<p>This is a program grant and is therefore awarded to a department\/program or to a cross-disciplinary collaboration, not to an individual. The Primary Investigator (PI) must be a tenured or tenure-track full-time faculty member in any department or college that reports directly to Academic Affairs. Faculty in the first or second year of a 3-year term may also apply as the PI on behalf of their respective projects. Administrators at the rank of Dean or above may not apply as the PI.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Apply<\/h2>\n<p>Submit your proposal by completing the application form below. You will be asked to upload several documents, which are described below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marshall.az1.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_37v4wEFGalGlnuu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to apply.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Proposals should include the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>CV for primary investigator<\/li>\n<li>Endorsement: Include a letter of endorsement from your division head\/department chair or dean.<\/li>\n<li>Proposal\n<ul>\n<li>Project Title<\/li>\n<li>Contact Information for the PI and Co-Investigators<\/li>\n<li>Program\/Department<\/li>\n<li>Project Abstract<\/li>\n<li>Full Project Description\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Issue<\/strong>: The issue\/problem is clearly identified and in-line with the purpose of the grant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expected Outcomes<\/strong>: The expected outcomes are clearly identified, feasible, and in-line with the purpose of the grant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strategy and Pedagogical Justification<\/strong>: The project proposes an innovative addition to current programming and will change or affect teaching methods, assessment, student learning, and so forth, in creative or different ways from \u201ctraditional\u201d teaching\/learning paradigms. Active engagement by students is promoted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broad Program-Level Impact<\/strong>: The project\u2019s impact will be felt across multiple courses or across the program\/department\/college\/institution rather than just in a single course. Multiple instructors will be affected or involved. The project will potentially change the learning experiences of many students.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assessment Methods<\/strong>: Assessment plan is clearly described, feasible, and will yield sufficient data to measure student learning and determine efficacy of the project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Timeline<\/strong>: Timeline is clearly delineated and the project can be accomplished in the time proposed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Budget<\/strong> (max 100 words) : Budget expenditures are clear and realistic. The budget is a useful expenditure of the money, relative to the purpose of the grant. (NOTE: The $5,000 does not all have to be spent on direct project expenditures. It can be used as a \u201creward\u201d for a program or department that is using its personnel to creatively change the program. The budget should not be used primarily for one person\u2019s salary.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan for Dissemination of the Project <\/strong>(max 100 words): Proposal indicates willingness to present at iPED 2027, produce a Best Practices Guide for CTL website, and plans for submission of a project evaluation report (including assessment results) by September 15, 2027.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Questions?<\/h2>\n<p>Please direct questions to <a href=\"mailto:ctl@marshall.edu\">ctl@marshall.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Application Deadline Proposals for the 2025-26 academic year will be accepted through 8:00 am, March 9, 2026.
