Summary
The FDC met September 16th through November 11th. We reviewed a total of 18 proposals:
9
4
Professional Development (PD) proposals
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) proposals
5
Teaching Innovation (TI) proposals
After careful review and discussion using the scoring guide we individually and anonymously awarded
points for each proposal. The resulting ranking was provided to us and informed our discussion of
acceptance and funding awards. We identified a total of 10 accepted proposals from the following
categories:
3
3
Professional Development (PD) proposals
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) proposals
4
Teaching Innovation (TI) proposals
Then we created two options for awarding funding based on availability1 of funds (Figure 1). Option A
awards the top 2 proposals at 100% and the remaining accepted proposals at lesser percentages based
on merit. Option B only changes the funding amounts for the top two proposals, keeping the
percentage calculations from option A. Option B funds the top two proposals at 90%. We suggest
moving forward with option A unless fringe benefits are too high and then option B would be
appropriate.

Due to the need to account for fringe benefits we created two options for awarding funding
