TO: MTSU Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty, Chairs and Deans FROM: Office of Academic Affairs RE: 2016-17 Instructional Evaluation and Development Grants I'm pleased to announce that the Instructional Evaluation and Development (IED) committee will accept grant applications with the following deadlines: September 16, 2016 October 28, 2016 February 10, 2017 March 31, 2017 (if funds remaining) Guidelines for the Instructional Evaluation and Development Grant program and application forms are available on the website for the Office of the University Provost http://www.mtsu.edu/provost/awards.php or may be obtained from the Office of Academic Affairs in Room 111, Cope Administration Building. To receive grant funds, the applicant must be a full-time tenured or tenure-track MTSU teaching faculty member, and preference will be given to applicants who have not received support from this committee within the past two years. The median grant award last year was $2034.12 and most successful grants included departmental contributions or matching funds. The committee encourages all applicants to review the guidelines carefully before drafting proposals. In general, successful IED grants directly support curriculum development and course enhancement by funding materials, tools and techniques that affect the classroom experience for students. Applications that do not meet the goals of the IED program may be better suited for consideration by the Faculty Development, Research and Creative Activity, Public Service and Non-Instructional Assignment committees, among others. Again, the deadlines for Instructional Evaluation and Development grants are September 16, 2016, October 28, 2016, and February 10, 2017, and if funds remain at that time March 31, 2017. We look forward to your proposals. For more information, please contact the office of Academic Affairs.
