Engaged Learning, Civic Development, and Student Well-Being
Curricular Redesign Grant Emerging Technology Pilot Grant
UW System Grants
OPID 2011
Conference Development Grants
The Office of Professional and Instructional
Development (OPID) offers grants of up to $1,000 for the
development and sponsorship of local, regional, and
systemwide workshops and conferences focused on the
improvement of teaching.
OPID is particularly interested in proposals
that focus on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning,
and in activities that build upon existing campus
initiatives focused on teaching and learning. We are
always eager to create opportunities for faculty and
staff who have received previous Undergraduate Teaching
and Learning Grant (UTLG) program grants to share those
projects and their results with colleagues. OPID
Conference Development Grants also support workshops,
seminars or conferences on teaching-related subjects,
including meetings of faculty or staff in a particular
discipline to discuss teaching issues raised by that
discipline. Proposers may invite guest speakers to give
presentations as part of their program. Funds typically
support guest travel, materials, and some expenses
incidental to the funded event; they are not intended to
support conference travel for individual faculty members
attending non-OPID-funded events.
Proposals are due to the UWSP OPID representative, Dr. Patricia Ploetz, no later than April 4, 2011. Email your proposal to caese@uwsp.edu.
Engaged Learning, Civic Development, and Student Well-Being
The Bringing Theory to Practice project (BTtoP)
requests proposals for a new round of grants with three categories
of funding. While continuing to support projects that link engaged
learning, civic development, and student well-being, the new round
of support is aimed at making more intentional the project's
dedication to: 1) exploring the relationship between civic
development and engagement practices and students' psychosocial
development; and 2) sustaining true transformative campus change for
learning.
Category I: Mini-Grants and Student
Programming Grants
Up to $2,500. Matching support is
not required. Rolling applications and awards.
Category II: Program or Research
Initiative Grants
Up to $10,000. Institutional
matching support is expected. May be renewable. Proposals accepted
on quarterly deadlines: March 1; June 1; September 1; December 1 of
each year (2010-2011).
Category III: Demonstration Site Grants
Up to $75,000 per year for two years, totaling $150,000.
Institutional matching support is required. May be renewable.
Applications due January 15, 2010.
The emphases for the 2010-2012 grant period
represent critical advancements of work previously undertaken on
campuses. BTtoP seeks proposals to provide empirical and
programmatic evidence for the connection between students' civic
engagement and their psychosocial well-being through the development
of nuanced definitions and implementations of both concepts. BTtoP
also seeks proposals from institutions interested in developing --
through multiple means and a realignment of priorities and rewards
-- the pathways for sustaining long-term institutional
transformation consistent with the goals of a liberal arts
education.
A full copy of the RFP can be found on the Web site (www.bringingtheorytopractice.org), as well as a brief history of BTtoP, BTtoP's research and strategies, and related work (publications, research reviews, announcements, reports, and related resources).
Curricular Redesign Grant Emerging
Technology Pilot Grant
The Learning Technology Development Council (LTDC) advocates for the importance of support for effective use of technology in teaching and learning, as well as paving the future of e-learning development by advancing the innovative use of technology in the classroom and the online environment. In view of the reallocation of resources, the LTDC has revised its Curricular Redesign Program for 2009-2010.
