Faculty Development Grants
Faculty Development Grants are intended to enhance the quality of teaching and/or research/creative work. Among those items to be supported in all three categories are: (1) attending workshops and conferences related to teaching and/or research/creative work, (2) employing student assistants involved in research work, (3) supporting professional development, (4) converting existing courses to newer technologies, and (5) obtaining special equipment or software.

The call for proposals for the 2012-2013 Faculty Development Grants is open. Proposals are due April 30, 2012. Awards will be announced around June 1 and funds will be available July 1, 2012. The Center for Faculty Development Advisory Board has recommended that we offer grants in three categories: (A) $10,000 (two awards), (B) $5,000 (three awards), and (C) $2,000 (ten awards).

The CFD Blog is live! This blog was created by staff in the Center for Faculty Development at the University of Colorado Denver to function in a variety of ways – as a newsletter, educational forum, archive and digital repository for Center activities and initiatives – and as an additional faculty resource on instructional technologies, pedagogies and projects.

Through sharing theory, practice and stories in this public forum, we hope to encourage collaboration, feedback, and a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights – both within and without the UCD community. Please feel welcome to reply to posts and to share your suggestions or comments at: http://centerforfacultydevelopment.wordpress.com/about
