Our goal is to enhance excellence in undergraduate and graduate education through the development of faculty. CETLSS is proud to facilitate multiple grant opportunities to support effective teaching and learning for student success.
Our Grants
The TQF Grants focus on the practice, assessment, and/or support of high-quality teaching at Appalachian State, as aligned to App State's Teaching Quality Framework. Because these grants are aimed at enhancing the teaching culture at App State, we are interested in supporting groups of individuals engaging in this work, such as departments, programs, committees, or interdisciplinary collaboratives. This grant is perfect for projects like a redesigned peer review of teaching protocol, departmental professional development, data-based decision-making about student success, or curriculum design processes. Up to $3000 per project is available.
APPLICATIONS are due September 30th. Groups selected to participate will be notified in October—we look forward to working with you!
The purpose of the Mountaineer Mentoring Innovation Grants is to incentivize and recognize innovative approaches to faculty career support and mentorship at Appalachian State University. Funds will be granted to faculty groups and/or units for developing programs that support faculty across the career lifeline, including VITAL, pre-tenure, mid-career, and late career faculty. Up to $3000 per project is available.
Rolling review of APPLICATIONS will begin on September 16. Please submit this application by September 30, 2024 for full consideration. We look forward to working with you as we collectively seek new and meaningful ways to support our faculty.
