There are several teaching grants provided at UP. The list can be found on the Teaching and learning site. The Ignite Grants encourage faculty to explore new ideas that have the potential to impact the future of teaching and learning at UP. Creating new opportunities to tie curriculum to real-world experiences in both undergraduate and graduate programs, exploring ways to expand the reach of academic support resources, and using creative media formats to deliver professional development to faculty are just some of the projects fueled by Ignite funding. Successful Ignite projects often take a collaborative approach, working across department lines, and involving students as valuable participants and contributors.
Goals
- Advance pedagogy and promote faculty collaboration
- Foster fresh ideas and new approaches that can be scaled and/or be competitive for external funding
- Transform the learning experience for all students
Ignite is a collaboration between the Office of the Provost, Office of Development, and Academic Technology Services & Innovation (a Division of Information Services). Visit the Ignite Grants site on the Teaching and Learning Hub for additional information.
