The Innovative Teaching Grants (ITG) program provides start-up grants to support faculty members' efforts to develop innovative educational or evaluation techniques for their students; and applications for the 2005 ITG are currently being accepted. Grant amounts range from $2,500 to $5,000 per project.
Forty-eight Health Science Center faculty members have received ITG awards since 1996. ITG awards have been used for a variety of projects, including creating interdisciplinary courses, evaluating new teaching methods, developing computer-based learning modules or Web-based online courses, pilot testing new strategies to evaluate student competence and conducting research to measure the effectiveness of educational strategies.
The ITG application deadline is Feb. 1, 2006.
