UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence is now accepting proposals for its 2016-17 Teaching Support Grants competition. This grant program supports innovative instructional methods, experimental or unusual instructional equipment, guest speakers, field trips, or other activities and materials that further the mission of the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence to advance and inspire teaching excellence in the Penn State teaching and learning community.
The 2016-17 proposal process includes two steps: 1) a pre-proposal consultation, and 2) full-proposal development. Individuals or groups who want to be considered for funding need to discuss potential projects with a Schreyer Institute faculty consultant in a pre-proposal consultation before Dec. 18. These brief consultations may be in person, by phone, or by email. The consultations save time, improve proposal quality, and ensure projects match the institute’s mission.
Please visit the Schreyer Institute’s Teaching Project Grants page for additional details, the timeline, and evaluation criteria. To request a pre-proposal consultation, contact any faculty consultant you know, or send an email to site@psu.edu.
