Educational Research Mini-Grants

The educational research mini-grant program is designed to help instructors tackle a teaching and learning issue in which a specific, measurable research question is examined to bring about improved student learning, retention or academic success. 

Data from educational research mini-grant projects spanning five years of faculty projects, have shown measurable increases in instructor satisfaction, student learning, student-instructor interactions, and end of course evaluation scores as a result of these projects. 

Professional Development Funds for Early Career Faculty

Professional Development Funds for Early Career Faculty of up to $500 are available to support registration fees, airfaire, hotel and per diem travel to a conference or workshop or to visit with fund managers, once travel restrictions are lifted. The grant can also be used for online conference registration fees.. Proposals, which are accepted on a rolling basis, are welcome from both tenure track and non-tenure track faculty. Typically, the support is available for use during the summer or fall semester following the faculty member's first year on campus.
