Level II grants of up to $15,000 are available to faculty to carry out more substantial and especially innovative undergraduate curricular developments that take advantage of new instructional technologies.

Features

Grants of up to $15,000 are available to faculty and groups of faculty to carry out more substantial and especially innovative undergraduate curricular developments that take advantage of new instructional technologies. These are funds for projects that will have a direct impact on the learning of a significant number of undergraduate students in a field. Level II grants are intended to support:

  • Major technological innovations in course materials and resources
  • Adoption of technologies that will have a significant impact on student learning and student research
  • Impact on a large number of undergraduate students in the field of study
  • Potential for wider use in the College
  • Proposals with strong support from the department chair or program director
  • Development of courses on aspects of the information revolution

Who Can Apply for a Level II Grant?

Faculty who wish to explore new instructional technologies are encouraged to apply, even when they are not fully confident that the venture will succeed. The committee reviewing proposals welcomes efforts to extend the frontiers of technology use, even while it supports the broader use of proven technologies by all faculty across the college. Overall preference is given to proposals that will develop the instructional technology skills of instructors so that they may successfully apply them in classes and make ongoing contributions to undergraduate instruction in the college after the funded project is successfully completed.

Level II grants are open to all instructional staff in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Eligibility to apply for funding does not ensure that funding will be granted.

Funding Guidelines

Among the items that may be included in the budget request are:

  • Hourly wages for student assistants
  • Software not available through LSA Technology Services
  • Costs for digitizing images and texts
  • Fees for access to databases
  • One-time equipment purchase
  • Consultant fees for technical support
  • Supplies
  • Project evaluation expenses

Items that require significant rationale to clarify exceptional circumstances:

  • Travel and registration fees for relevant conferences, seminars, or workshops
  • Faculty salary support
  • Laptop and desktop computers

Items that may not be included in the budget request are:

  • Cost of on-going cycle of replacements for equipment
  • Tuition for student assistants

Applying for a Level II Grant

Proposals should be especially clear about the nature and significance of the project’s impact on undergraduate teaching. Proposals should describe:

  • The technology to be explored or implemented
  • The approach to be taken in developing the relevant expertise, or adopting the instructional innovation in new or existing courses
  • How the project meets the priorities of this funding program
  • How the success of the project will be evaluated

If your grant proposal is approved, a report on the project should be submitted within a year.
