The purpose of these grants is to promote curriculum or course development in teaching. The program is designed to support WCU faculty who wish to develop creative and innovative approaches that go beyond routine course development. All full-time, tenured or tenure track WCU faculty are eligible to apply for Instructional Improvement Grants.
Joint proposals are welcome and interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged.
Appropriate Expenditures Funds may be requested for services, supplies, and equipment related to developing new materials for an existing course or for a new course that has already been officially approved. Examples of appropriate requests are shown below. In rare cases, exceptions may be made for travel but only if it is part of an innovative approach to teaching. You are encouraged to contact someone listed below before submitting your proposal. Copies of proposals from previous years are available for review in the Faculty Center.
