Money, money, money...

CREATE! and the Faculty Development Committee have been working on acquiring money to support your course development as well as your ongoing professional development. On this page, you will find more information about the kinds of funding opportunities that we currently offer as well as the forms that you will need to apply for these monies. Below, there is information on funding to support your attending conferences as well as mini-grants to support projects that are intended to improve the quality of teaching and learning. To the right, you will find more information on how to propose your own FIG. 

If you have additional ideas and/or needs for funding, let us know and we will try to work on this with you - thanks!

CREATE! is working on a budget proposal, which (if approved as is) will not be available until January. The information below is therefore dependent on this approval process...

Each year, CREATE! hopes to offer as many as four (4) faculty members up to $1,500 each to support their attending a conference.

CREATE is hoping to offer mini-grants to support projects that are intended to improve the quality of teaching and learning on our campus. Currently, we are hoping to fund as many as 3 projects per year up to $500 per project. 

Examples of the kinds of projects these mini-grants are intended to support:

• Activities leading to enhancing teaching and learning
• Conducting research directly related to teaching and learning
• Activities fostering joint faculty-student scholarship related to teaching and learning

Examples of the kinds of projects that these mini-grants are NOT intended to support:

• Stipends
• Sabbatical and leave of absence support
• Support work toward advanced degree
• Support for professional licensure or recertification of professional licensure
• Professional development that is initiated or mandated by the university, program or administration
