2010 Call for Proposals: coming to you sometime after July, 2010

General Information

The Educational Developers Caucus (EDC) living plan (2010 onwards) calls for new efforts to enhance critical reflection, inquiry, and communication about educational development practice within the EDC community. In an effort to support such work, in 2007, we created the Educational Developers Caucus Grants Program.

Grants of up to $2,500 are available to EDC members for work that will:

  • Encourage new directions in educational development;
  • Facilitate critical reflection about ongoing practice;
  • Foster inquiry into the results of current projects;
  • Enhance communication among development professionals;
  • Expand impact of successful practices beyond local environments;
  • Build collaborative structures between and among institutions.

Grant money is generated based on the number of institutional memberships to the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE), with EDC receiving a percentage of such income. As a result, the total amount of money available in any given EDC grant year varies.

A projected funded by the annual EDC grant program can reapply for up to one additional year only.

Examples of previous and possible projects include:

  • Adapting a successful project or initiative from a single institution to multiple sites;
  • Disseminating results of a national or more geographically-specific survey;
  • Increasing awareness of the range of programs, services and resources currently in place, or possible in the future;
  • Creating a community or network across institutions or geographic areas to build shared experience;
  • Building on the work of a project funded in a previous year.
