Teaching Initiatives » WSU Innovative Instructional Technology Faculty Grants

In Fall 2003, the Provost’s Office initiated a grant program, the Innovative Instructional Technology Faculty Grants, to fund innovative instructional technology projects as a part of WSU’s commitment to support faculty making the transition to a high-tech instructional environment. These grants are awarded annually for projects that advance the development of leading-edge, innovative approaches to instruction and that will serve as models for other innovations. Proposals to develop single or multi-section courses within a single discipline or to develop multidisciplinary materials are all considered. This is an annual award for projects that will develop cutting-edge uses of technology.

In prior years, the grants were awarded semi-annually, however Winter 2006 is the last time two grant cycles per year will be offered. Beginning next academic year, grants will be awarded once during the year, but the awards may be larger than $5,000 per award. Proposals for Winter 2006 are due March 31, 2006 and those for the 2006-2007 academic year are due April 15, 2006.

Individuals awarded a grant are asked to present their project’s results or the outcomes achieved, thus providing the WSU community an opportunity to benefit from this wide range of works being done on campus.
