The relaunched PCF grant program provides an opportunity for a team of two or more faculty members, both Senate and non-Senate, to transform undergraduate education. Starting this year, PCF will focus on supporting the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) at UC Berkeley. The Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) is seeking grant applications from interested departmental teams aiming to advance curricular innovation through a SoTL study in partnership with the staff at CTL. The program will award four (4) grants of up to $20,000 per year for two years (up to $40,000 total) to support SoTL research beginning June 19, 2023.
Funds are intended to empower faculty teams from academic departments to engage in SoTL, especially where such work has not previously been done. As a result of this SoTL inquiry, teams are expected to engage in curricular revision or the introduction of new curricular components that will enhance learning experiences for undergraduate students.
Prior experience or engagement in SoTL is not required to be competitive for this grant. In close collaboration with the assigned mentor and other staff in CTL, selected Fellows will continue to build SoTL expertise and develop the design of their proposed study.
