Remit Introduction The Fund for New Teaching Initiatives provides practical and financial support for the development of the University's teaching, learning and assessment activities. The Fund is administered by an Approvals Group on behalf of the University's Learning and Teaching Committee. The Group meets no less than four times a year to consider project proposals from across the University. Project funding is available via a bidding system.
Early application is encouraged.
Proposal All project proposals should comply with the following guidelines approved by the Learning and Teaching Committee. Staff in the Teaching and Learning Unit are available to discuss the Fund's remit and to offer guidance on the development of project proposals. Support will normally be given for 'pump-priming' and developmental activities and not to subsidise the teaching of existing courses or course components. Applications are also invited for grants to fund the development of teaching and learning resources or small-scale research or evaluation projects where these are specifically designed to inform curriculum development. All developments should support the University's stated mission and its Learning and Teaching Strategy.
