Program Announcement

The Council for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and the Office of Faculty Affairs invites a SECOND ROUND of applications for Curriculum and Instruction Grants, with a deadline of Monday, April 24, 2006.

This program provides seed money for faculty initiatives designed to enhance the quality of teaching and learning at UIC.  Over the years, the grants have provided over $700,000 in "seed money" for faculty initiatives at UIC.  The purpose of the program is to build a fund of innovations, demonstration projects, and experiences that will contribute to an atmosphere of curricular and instructional excellence at UIC. Applications that incorporate innovative approaches to general education, interdisciplinary and cross-departmental instruction, and the measurement of student learning outcomes are particularly encouraged.

All tenured, tenure-track, and voting members of the faculty of any UIC college or school are eligible to apply for C & I Grants. Application guidelines and materials are available at http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/cetl/cig/index.html.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
