The UNC Charlotte Faculty Scholarship on Teaching and Learning Grants Committee is requesting proposals for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) Grants (formerly known as API/CID Grants). The committee awards grants to individual faculty members, departments, colleges, programs, academies, or standing committees to support them in projects that will examine and reflect upon the teaching and learning practices in their discipline in a systematic way by using research methods and by making the results known to the campus community and beyond. Such projects may be aimed at making significant curricular reforms, designing new curricula, conducting research that informs teaching and learning at the local (course, department, college, university) level, or initiating activities that would improve the quality of instruction in the undergraduate and graduate programs of the unit or the campus. The SOTL Grants Committee is particularly concerned with funding projects which have measurable outcomes and will demonstrate evidence of success to the UNC Charlotte teaching and learning community.

Proposals must be submitted electronically as a single email attachment (e.g., MS Word document or PDF) to the Center for Teaching and Learning (ctl@uncc.edu) no later than 4:00 PM on Friday, October 23, 2009. To be considered for funding, you must include a letter of support from your college dean as part of your proposal.
