The Presidential Chair Fellows Resilience Grant Program provides an opportunity for a team of two or more faculty members -- from a department or across departments -- to examine, develop, improve, and transform core areas of the undergraduate curriculum. For the upcoming grant cycle, we are soliciting proposals where faculty will engage in intentional design of student learning opportunities that address a specific need or opportunity for enhancing instructional resilience. We are especially interested in supporting projects that will benefit teaching in contexts for which remote instruction is particularly challenging (e.g., projects that improve resilience for laboratory or studio courses).
The purpose of this grant and learning community program is to make funds available to carry out curricular instructional resilience efforts that are meaningful and achievable. The grant program will fund up to four projects, each up to $22,000 over the one-year grant period from August 2020 to June 2021.
