UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence is now accepting proposals for its 2017-18 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 2017-18 proposal process includes two steps: 1) a pre-proposal consultation, and 2) full proposal development. Individuals or groups that want to be considered for funding need to discuss potential projects with a Schreyer Institute faculty consultant in a pre-proposal consultation before Wednesday, March 1. 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.
Visit the Schreyer Institute’s Teaching Project Grants webpage for additional details, the timeline, and evaluation criteria. To request a pre-proposal consultation, contact any faculty consultant or send an email to site@psu.edu.
