Applications will be accepted only from a principal applicant who is tenured or tenure-track full time MTSU teaching faculty. The first deadline for applications is October 13, 2000. The committee will meet to vote on the proposals on October 30, and applicants will be notified of their grant status shortly thereafter. The Instructional Evaluation and Development Committee awards grants for projects related to assessment and improvement of instruction effectiveness. Funding consideration is based on the following guidelines.
Funding is limited to activities described above.
It is necessary that the applicant clearly specify how the proposed project will meet the requirements outlined above. They are not designed to supplement departmental budgets for routine instructional activities. Thus, travel and equipment will be funded only if they are essential components of a larger plan of instructional improvement or evaluation. To avoid potential conflict with other committees, applicants must clearly reflect instructional evaluation or instructional development. Projects primarily designed to broaden an instructor's base of knowledge, to conduct research, or replace existing resources should be addressed to other committees or budgetary resources.
