Overview
The Teaching Center offers several different funding opportunities for instructors to develop and implement new courses. These programs serve instructors who teach courses that primarily enroll students in the the School of Arts & Sciences and Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences.
Teaching Innovation Grants
Teaching Innovation Grants provide up to $12,500 for instructors and academic departments to develop, implement and assess new courses or new approaches to existing courses.
Student Course Development Projects
Student Course Development Projects (SCDP) provides funding for instructors to hire an undergraduate for six weeks in the summer to assist in the development of new course content, learning activities, or learning materials.
College Course Development Fellowship
The College Course Development Fellowship (CCDF) brings together small groups of instructors to collaborate in (re)developing, planning, and implementing their courses. Over the two-semester program, Fellows enjoy intensive support from Teaching Center staff and are each awarded a $1,000 non-salary stipend for use in their research and teaching.
Transparent Assignment Design Fellowship
The Transparent Assignment Design Fellowship (TADF) supports instructors in transitioning their non-test assignments using the principles of transparent assignment design: purpose, task, and criteria. The one-semester fellowship carries a $500 non-salary stipend for instructors to use in their teaching and research.
Off-Campus Professional Development
Instructors who participate in any of our teaching professional development programs (teaching consultations, mid-semester evaluations, communities of practice, grant programs and fellowships, etc.) are eligible for grants to assist with the cost of attending off-campus conferences and workshops on higher education pedagogy and the scholarship of teaching and learning. See the off-campus professional development page for more information.
