Curricular Innovation Grants

In line with university goals and priorities, a new Curricular Innovation Grant Fund has been established to provide competitive grants for experimenting with innovative teaching methods such as transdisciplinary learning, virtual reality, digital learning, active learning, inclusive teaching practices, open education resources, or techniques introduced in the ACUE course on Effective Teaching Practices. This program is being piloted in 2023 as an initial step in a multiyear effort to further inspire and incentivize curricular innovation and experimentation. Learn more about the grants.
