Common Book Instructional Grants
The Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research (CIDER) offers several types of funding opportunities to meet the varying pedagogical needs, challenges and opportunities of faculty (see a full list of grants). These grants are designed for faculty members to facilitate and scaffold the:
- development of instructional abilities,
- taking of pedagogical risks, and
- engagement in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
The Common Book Instructional Grants are designed to provide an opportunity for faculty members to enhance their instruction through the adoption and use of the University's Common Book Project. The Common Book Project provides all first-year undergraduate and transfer students with shared educational experience to encourage a sense of community through critical thinking, discussion, and action. Maximum funding for a Common Book Grant is $2,000.
Please Note: No CIDER grant funds may be used for travel.
