A.  Inclusive Teaching and Learning Course Development and Enhancement Grant
Purpose: This in-house small grant program is designed to help faculty to include diversity-related content in courses and to increase inclusivity. More specifically, this grant can be used to achieve any one of the following faculty goals:

  1. To make meaningful changes to an existing course (whether or not that course has a Diversity and Power [DP] designation) in order to increase the diversity-related content of that course.  
  2. To help faculty make major changes to the pedagogy being used to teach a course in order to increase inclusivity.
  3. To develop a new course that to modify an existing course so that would have a strong DEI component

Maximum possible award: $750, up to $500 can be taken as a stipend

B. Inclusive Teaching and Learning Startup Micro-Grant Purpose: This in-house micro-grant program is designed to help faculty to identify ways to:

  • to increase in breadth or depth the diversity content in their course(s), or 
  • increase the range of inclusive pedagogy utilized in their course(s), or 
  • intentionally build their self-awareness and cultural responsiveness as an increasingly equitable educator.

The hope is that recipients of starter micro-grants will apply for another Inclusive Teaching and Learning grant in the future.

Maximum possible award: $250, up to $100 can be taken as a stipend (from the amount remaining after materials needed to facilitate growth sought are purchased)

C.  Inclusive Teaching and Learning Team Grant (with multiple applications)
Purpose: This in-house small grant program is designed to help teams of faculty work collaboratively to:

  • increase in breadth or depth the diversity content in their course(s), or
  • increase the range of inclusive pedagogy utilized in their course(s), or
  • intentionally build their individual and collective self-awareness and cultural responsiveness as increasingly equitable educators.

Teams must include at least four people that share some sort of commonality. They might all come from the same major or minor. They might teach students who want similar careers (e.g., health-related careers). They might all teach using a similar teaching style (e.g., experiential learning). they might all be interested in being culturally equitable educators. They might be interested in more activism and care to work to develop themselves as anti-racist or anti-sexist or anti-homophobic (etc.) educators.

Funding will be used to purchase a chosen common book (or material to facilitate growth sought - but not conference attendance) for each participant as well as food/snacks for during team-discussion sessions.

Maximum possible award: $2500, up to $200 per person can be taken as a stipend (from the amount remaining beyond books/materials and food).
